There was one place we stayed where the bed was so uncomfortable that we were in absolute misery all night. When I get home this evening I'll dig out my notes on where we wound up staying each night, I tried to journal about that part of the experience (in addition to my journaling about the...
I found a dark gray (or faded black?) sweater on the Hospitales route yesterday. I thought it may have belonged to a woman we met from Vermont who had passed us yesterday morning, but when I finally spotted her again on our way out of Berducedo today she said it actually belongs to another woman...
Does anyone know of an email contact for Hotel Rural Chao San Martín in Castro? I've been trying to find one with no luck. Casa Ferreiro Castro is booked for the night I'll be there, and I'm worried that Chao San Martin will be also if I don't contact them early... but with only a phone number...
I won't be able to book train tickets for another month, but looking at the renfe schedule there is a regular morning train that arrives at noon. Definitely looking forward to being able to wander the town, and we'll probably check out the Naranco churches that afternoon too :)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
This October won't be an option, unfortunately, because I have a family reunion in October (and by then theoretically we'll have enough vaccinations/herd immunity to make the reunion possible!), and seeing my family for the first time in 2 years takes...
So, I just got confirmation that my trip this summer is cancelled :( which means I get to reschedule the Primitivo a 2nd time.
My first trip was scheduled for October, and this one was going to be in June. If you could pick any month to go *besides* September, what month would it be and why...
