    LIVE from the Camino K's Primitivo 24

    I think you misunderstood me. I mean it was a shame to miss that walk, because it's completely through farmland etc and a little wilder, not because of the views. I know you were keen to get away from the roads and that's exactly what the Hospitales does. You may recall that I was trying to...

    What a wonderful finish to your day! Shame that you won’t get to walk the Hospitales, but great that you’ve found such an experienced companion. Enjoy

    That’s rough, good that you’ve landed in a great Albergue

    I did exactly the same when I got to Lugo, took an apartment for two nights. Just inside the walls - oh the luxury!

    Great to see you on the way. Have you seen many fellow pilgrims? (Other than the one in your photo)

    A shame, but smart move!

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    Good point. My notes show that we found nothing for 24, 5 kilometres - ie, Berducedo. There was supposed to be a tap at the church (Lago?), but it was cut off. Obviously individual needs vary considerably, I carried three liters (inc a half liter of Aquarius), a couple of companions carried...

    Incidentally K, you might want to consider stopping with Silvia (Casa Pascual) in El Espin. One bedroom, I think a maximum now of 10 people (it was just six when I was there, no bunks) - she added two bunk beds the week after I stayed. She's contactable (bookable!) on WhatsApp, speaks very good...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    @KariannNor, as you probably know the Primitivo can be very tricky weather wise. Even in July I had a couple of days with very cool (4-6c) misty starts, and on the Hospitales it ranged between t shirt to three layers - the mist rolled in very, very quickly indeed, and the wind chill factor was...

    Of course, I responded to @KariannNor without thinking, you've already passed by.

    I concur. I was fortunate enough to stay with Allison and Alberto last year, in their first week of ownership. They love the camino (I think they might have actually met on Camino) - they truly get it. Absolutely legendary hosts.

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    @Beeman, I don't know if you realise or not but this is quite an old thread. I've since walked the Verde, beautiful route.

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    @Thomas1 , this is turning into an excellent thread for those looking to walk shorter distances on the Primitivo. If you can continue to add the names of the places that you sleep each night (and perhaps the distance?) this could be a very valuable resource for them. I love the Primitivo...

    Lugo - Ourense a good idea?

    Incidentally, whilst I didn’t use any apps on the Camino, you’ll find the Verde on Mapy.cz . Probably worth downloading Mapy if you don’t already have it. If you do decide to do this, you might also want to continue onto the Norte variant. If you need help with accommodation options, post here...

    Lugo - Ourense a good idea?

    It’s a marked route, albeit not recognised. I walked it last year as part of my Primitivo, but I don’t bother with a Compostela. I’ll find the excellent thread from @Telelama and post it.

    Conditions under foot

    Many thanks, much appreciated. Especially when I look at them and think how much I missed. When it comes to videos, I have a lot to learn. I have to say, I’d walk the Primitivo again in a heartbeat

    Conditions under foot

    Wear whatever you’re most comfortable with. Always. And if you’re wondering/ concerned about snow- which you could get, even into May/ June, let alone in 3 weeks- then it’s a bonus that you prefer boots.

    Conditions under foot

    Exactly. @sprinto and @billandjothorne, over thinking/watching, even worrying about current conditions so far out is interesting at best - but pointless. On the Primitivo last year it went from clear to relatively thick fog on the Hospitales in MINUTES. In July. But the path was still obvious...
