    Camino Primitivo — Question about Borres

    It is a basic albergue. I didn’t stay there when I walked the Primitivo but I knew people who did. There is a bar nearby. Burn Camino

    Camino Primitivo or continue on the Norte?

    Hi Kjack! When I walked the Norte the decision was easier for me because I had already walked the Primitivo - so I stayed on the Norte. You can decide on the day - lots of people did. Most people I had met on the Norte choose to head off to the Primitivo so it was very quiet on the Norte after...

    Second solo Camino - Primitivo or Frances?

    Hello! I enjoyed my Camino Primitivo, but I had walked the Frances twice before I walked the Primitivo. The Primitivo definitely has a camino spirit to it, especially if you look to stay in some of the special albergues along the way. One of the reasons I walked this way was that I didn't have...

    Competition in Campiello

    Hi ramble-on, Yes, Borres is beyond Campiello (about 5kms I think). The path splits just beyond Borres to either the Pola de Allende route or Hospitales. Borres is the closest Albergue if you are walking the either route. I didn't stay there but many of my friends did. It's very basic (wasn't...

    Competition in Campiello

    Casa Ricardo was under construction when I was there in June. It will be the first albergue pilgrims come to when approaching Campiello. It looked to have a nice patio area and is right across the street from a lovely little shop/bar.

    Growth in pilgrim numbers on the Primitivo

    I walked the Primitivo in June 2015 and I know of 5 pilgrims who stopped in Lugo. This was their plan - they were all Spanish and had walked into Santiago on previous caminos. They wouldn't be included in the cathedral's statistics and I'm sure there would be others as well. I've mentioned...

    Albergue in the fancy hotel in Tineo

    I met a Finnish pilgrim who took one look at this place and left! He felt it was a bit over the top...... I walked through Tineo as it was only midday.

    2016 -- Year of the Primitivo

    On the Primtivo this June there were many Spanish people who finished in Lugo as Laura K mentioned. During this Camino I saw more use of taxis, support cars etc as a way to beat the 'bed rush' than I did when walking the Frances. It created a certain spirit that I tried hard to ignore. I found...

    Branching from Frances to Primitivo?

    I got mine at the Cathedral. It is beautiful - and included a free tour of the Cathedral, which was very interesting. I loved the Salvador and Primitivo but, then again, I had walked the Frances twice. See how you feel in Leon. You may not want to interrupt your Camino Frances. That is one of...

    Combining the Camino Frances and the Primitivo?

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    I think the Salvador/Primitivo is a good option - I'm planning on traveling that way in June! buen camino
