  1. The Cumbrian

    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    It's one of my favourite things, I make it at home too.
  2. The Cumbrian

    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    I had no problems last year, and never found the food to be repetitive. I ate the typical peregrino mixture of albergue meals, restaurants, cafes, shops and market stalls (if you're lucky enough to be passing through Grado on market day you're in for a treat).

    What weather to expect on Primitivo in May

    When I walked it in mid to late May this year it rained on three days out of fourteen, and it was prolonged and heavy on only one of those days. Apart from that I was blessed with the weather; bright, warm sunshine, a nice breeze and interesting fluffy white clouds. It was occasionally misty in...

    Need hiking pants in Lugo!!

    I bought some socks from here earlier this year: https://g.page/tienda-columbia-lugo?share I wasn't looking for other items, but they seemed to have a decent selection of clothing. There's a pharmacy and a good supermarket within about 100m too, so a pilgrim is able to get most things they...

    Wifi and cell service on Primitivo? Sept 22

    They had wifi in every albergue I stayed in apart from Escamplero (the nearby Restaurante El Tendejón has wifi though, and you have to register there for the albergue) and Villapañada. I use Vodafone and the signal was mostly good, except when it wasn't and it disappeared completely. I found it...

    Good spots for a rest day on Primitivo?

    Evan and I stayed at the Hotel Las Grandes after a short stage because he was suffering with his blisters. We both really enjoyed the stay and for a twin ensuite room (with a lake view), two lunches, two dinners, two breakfasts, a bottle of wine and enough beer for a regiment, the bill only came...

    Lost & Found Long Shot - Lost Badge (Pin if you're from the US) on the Primitivo.

    I'm ridiculously optimistic, so I'm hoping that it fell off in an albergue or cafe...

    Lost & Found Long Shot - Lost Badge (Pin if you're from the US) on the Primitivo.

    A very long shot, especially as it was over a month ago, but has anyone found a yellow "Camino arrow" badge with Michael written on it in (fading) permanent marker on the Primitivo? I stayed at San Juan de Villapañada, and Domingo gave us all a badge and asked us to write our names on. I...

    LIVE from the Camino BobY333 on the Primitivo

    We got off to a slower start than anticipated, and Evan's blisters slowed us down after that. Waking him up in the mornings proved to be the first ordeal of the day and always led to a more relaxed start than I would have liked, and I'm not an early riser by any means. You already had your trail...

    LIVE from the Camino BobY333 on the Primitivo

    Great write up Bob, and it was good to meet you on the road to Villapañada.

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Primitivo...

    Thanks for that, I've got a plan if I can resupply there.

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Primitivo...

    That's good information about the shop. Did you notice if they sold wine?
  13. The Cumbrian

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Primitivo...

    I went there for a day trip in 2015 and ended up booking a hotel and staying for two nights. Gorgeous place.

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Primitivo...

    Buen Camino Omi. My son and I leave Oviedo on the 14th, so I'm slightly obsessed with the long term forecast at the moment. All the best, Michael.
  15. The Cumbrian

    All set, now I just have to wait.

    I'll be the one walking with an over-sized 18 year old, who hopefully won't have realised that his pack is quite a bit heavier than mine.
  16. The Cumbrian

    All set, now I just have to wait.

    I'll be arriving on the 13th Bob, so I might see you on the trail. I'm also planning to return to Spain in August to walk the San Salvador, which looks amazing.
  17. The Cumbrian

    All set, now I just have to wait.

    I've booked my flight to Madrid, the bus to Oviedo and my accommodation in Oviedo for the first night. I just have to wait until mid May now, so fingers crossed that it passes quickly. Originally I'd hoped to arrive in Oviedo earlier and walk a short stage on the same day, but the bus isn't...
