Planning the journey can be more stressful than the journey itself. I spontaneously planned my camino and was on the plane within 5 days of coming up with the idea… with so much time ahead of you, I’m certain your trip will be as flawless as can be… btw. I really loved the HiHome hostel in...
I just started my camino at Oviedo flying in from the USA. I flu from JFK to Madrid and there were options to fly to Oviedo directly or Bilbao and then take a bus.. I chose the latter because I really wanted to visit the Guggenheim Museum… just enter your journey into the kayak app and it will...
As I started feeling more at ease about doing Primitivo on my own, I read this post… what are the chances of walking into a bear or a wolf on this route?
Thank you. I do not fear spending time with self. I am just very nervous about the hospitales stage and of the pola de Allende if I was to get stuck along the way due to its remoteness I guess - I have read that that specific part is very isolated and the cellular network may not work. Therefore...

Many thanks again
I am working on planning the details of the route of Camino Primitivo and I caught another snag…
I keep seeing many of you mentioning the Hospitales trail and how incredible it is - I was super excited about it until I noticed that going there means bypassing the Pola de Allande… and - it’s...
Thank you for doing this for me. Having this said, if I arrive prior to the end of October, it could be an option yes? It depends on my walking pace and stages, but I may make it here still before the month ends… is this where you stayed?
Enjoyed reading these memories a lot! And what a lovely drawing! It reminded me that this is probably the hardest part of the journey in regards to the climb - how did it feel? Maybe it looks scarier than it is. At this point my own shadow intimidates me ahead of the journey. Feel free to add...
