    Primitivo is calling, but concerned about the amount of people..

    Thanks, good point I actually used Enders guide on the Salvador and the Wise Camino app from time to time on the Primitivo but only when I feared I was off the trail. Jamie

    Primitivo is calling, but concerned about the amount of people..

    I found the Salvador to be very well marked. I never went of the trail, which I did do by accident on the Primitivo as there seemed to be a lot of other non-camino arrows which got me mixed up a few times. Similar on the Portugues south of Porto, it wasn't well marked. I often use the...

    Primitivo is calling, but concerned about the amount of people..

    I walked the SanSalvador and Primitivo together in May 2017. I posted this a while ago, but it may help. I walked the Camino Frances in May 2016 with my daughter and then did my first solo Camino on the Salvador (Leon to Oviedo) then Primitivo (Oviedo - SDC) in May 2017. It was probably one of...

    Primitivo is calling, but concerned about the amount of people..

    I walked the Salvador followed by the Primitivo starting May 10th 2017. There were plenty of people to meet. In Grado there was not enough room in the albegue and people had to walk 5km extra to the next town (without services). Other than that I was able to find accommodations with out...

    Salvador-primitivo-Muxia

    I would certainly take a hiking stick or poles. I prefer poles as I feel more balanced with them. They help on the ups and downs and keep a pace on flats. My knees and the tips of my toes get quite sore on the down hills without them. Similar to other members, I would do the Salvador in 5...

    Salvador-primitivo-Muxia

    I walked the Salvador / Primitivo in May 2018 in 14 days. I was 48 at the time. I would recommend walking the Salvador in 5 days and likely staying a night in Poladura. I would walk the Primitivo in 11-12 days next time. There are places to stay but you may be the only pilgrim in the albergue...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Some items possibly helpful on the Salvador / Primivo are: 1) Hotel Real Colegiata San Isidoro in Leon is at the upper end of most budgets but a beautiful hotel with an attached church with a really nice Pilgrims mass. Buffet breakfast is among the best I've had. 2) Plaza San Martin in Leon is...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    I walked the Camino Frances in May 2016 with my daughter and then did my first solo Camino on the Salvador (Leon to Oviedo) then Primitivo (Oviedo - SDC) in May 2017. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. It was a very simple train ride from Madrid to Leon where I spent my...
