    How social is the Camino Primitivo?

    I'm sorry to hear that, they were so lovely!

    How social is the Camino Primitivo?

    If you are Dutch (and forgive me if I’m reading too much into your name), I made a Dutch friend just after Oviedo and he recommended Albergue Ponte Ferreira (just after Lugo) run by a Dutch couple. The place is really nice and the communal dinner and breakfast were wonderful! Relevant to your...

    Which is longer , Camino Primitivo Hospitales or Pola route

    This was the view I got from Samblismo. Dinner was a delicious vegetarian paella, communal style. I recommend it as the easiest starting point for Hospitales - it’s not quite the unforgettable Bodenaya experience, but it’s a good choice. Be aware that it’s just off the Hospitales route so you...

    My stages on the Camino Primitivo

    Officially, the Primitivo starts at the Cathedral in Oviedo. You can get to Oviedo from Madrid by bus, train or plane. The airport is about a half hour out of the city so from there you have to take a bus into Oviedo (or a cab I suppose but that would probably be expensive). Several of the...

    LIVE from the Camino Late July 2021 Primitivo!

    Nadine - fantastic helpful stuff in this thread, thank you! I’m in the final planning stages for starting the Primitivo in 10 days. I’m actually starting in Villaviciosa and walking two days before Oviedo. Reading all the posts on this forum my current plan is to stay at Bodenaya and Samblismo...

    Primitivo - Any updates on the albergue situation?

    Are the albergues at max capacity? How many pilgrims? Are any of the albergues doing communal dinners? Things will change between now and September when I go, but I'm trying to get a sense of the current situation. Any info would be a huge help, thanks!!!

    Primitivo - Any updates on the albergue situation?

    Would you recommend trying to make reservations now for September, or would a day or two in advance once I'm actually walking be enough? I have secured my first night's reservation in Amandi (just outside of Villaviciosa) and Sergio there has been very helpful so I'm sure he could help me line...

    Primitivo - Any updates on the albergue situation?

    As in booked in advance or are they still first come, first served?

    Primitivo - Any updates on the albergue situation?

    When you say “Covid full” do you mean that they are allowing fewer pilgrims and reaching the maximum each day?

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    Thanks to all of you guys, I talked it over at work and with my wife and I was able to bargain my way into 15 full days walking plus travel days starting in Villaviciosa in early September!!!!! Plus, I’m flying on miles straight into Oviedo and straight out of Santiago! This is the exact trip I...

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    That’s gotta be quite the culture shock at that point in the Frances.

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    Sevilla is easy enough to get to. Looking at the VDLP on Gronze there are 9 stages to Mérida and 19 to Salamanca. Some of those stages seem pretty short though. It seems like it could get lonely out there and perhaps the availability of albergues between stages is limited? What about the...

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    May 2020 was the first time I had picked exactly when I wanted to walk and it didn’t happen. All the other times have been when I could walk. I’ve been wet a lot - the best feature an albergue can have beside a communal dinner is a dryer. 😉

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    I got snow in Atapuerca in 2018 also! Mine was January though so to be expected. Thanks for all the posts on your Salvador/Primitivo!

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    So if you had fifteen days you could walk starting on October 26 (plus three days to get on and off one of the caminos from the US) would you do the Primitivo, another Camino, or just stay home? I don’t get much choice on when I can go which explains how I ended up walking from León to Sarria...

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    maybe I’ve misunderstood Sara’s posts but it seems like it rained hard all day every day she was on the Primitivo. The stats seem to say on average it rains less than one centimeter 13 days out of the month which is rainy but not monsoon weather. Sara if you see this please weigh in - I’m...

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    I think Sara’s experience was atypical. If every November were like 2019 it would be miserable. Apparently November 2017 was really nice.

    Primitivo in late October / early November?

    I'm finally planning my makeup Camino from my lost May 2020 Primitivo. I've searched the Forum for all threads on the Primitivo in November but I'm posting to see if anybody has any advice not yet shared on here. The earliest I can start walking is October 26. I plan on starting in Amandi -...

    Primitivo Accommodations - COVID Updates

    Glad to hear, thanks! I see it’s still on the Norte by about 2 km before the Primitivo splits off - thanks for compiling this info for us!
