    And my camino ends. 16 days walking was perfect for me to complete the Primitivo without too much pain. It really is a bit harder than the Frances or Portugues, but so beautiful. Buen Camino to all those who will soon be on their way.

    I have reached A rua today. Arzua was ok yesterday, but I regretted not staying in Ribadiso instead, because it was beautiful, with the river running through and was peaceful.

    I have reached Melide and Joined the Frances. Weather is fantastic. The day from Ferreira to Melide is much nicer than I expected from the guidebook. It is very picturesque and there is a nice bar to stop at on the way, which I had not expected.

    Today I went from Castro to Fonsegrada. Finally into Galicia. There is a great restaurant about 5km before Fonsegrada, for a really great lunch (not pilgrims menu, a little fancier than that but still relaxed) We had 4 seasons in one day today, and the ponchos had to come out.

    Yesterday I walked 26 km from Berducedo to Castro. That graffiti was funny, in the middle of the steep climb!

    Today I walked 18km from Pola de Allande to Berducedo. This was a challenging day, with a big climb in the morning. Even if you dont take the hospitales, you need to carry plenty of snacks and water as there is nowhere to buy any all day. A kind camino friend saved me with biscuits!. The scenery...

    Today I walked from Campiello to Pola de Allande. I had the path to myself all day... everyone else must have been on the hospitales. It suited me very well to walk slowly to Pola de Allande. I am staying at the Nueva Allandesa Hotel. A simple room for €30. I had a fantastic menu of Asturian...

    Yes, I think they have wine. I definitely noticed beer.

    Today was a short day for me. As part of practicing the best self-care, I walked only from Tineo to Campiello. We took a detour to the monastery of Obona. It was a fantastic walk today. Most people I have met walked on a little further today, so maybe I won't see them again. But that's the...

    I am using the Wise Pilgrim app which is really good. You can download the maps to use offline on your phone (with GPS)

    Hi Leah. I think you should bring the sleeping bag. It can still get cold at night in the hills and since covid, blankets may not be guaranteed.

    There is no problem with beds at this stage. My friend is pretty much alone in the salas municipal tonight... but there may be bottlenecks further along. It is a small enough number to keep seeing the same people and get to know them...

    Grado to Salas was another gorgeous stage. I am using hiking poles for the first time and am in love with them. There was a little mud today. Great camino spirit here. I once read there is less of that on the Primitivo than the Frances, but my experience is that everyone is open and kind and...

    Ok, so I am having artichokes with foie and a main of slow cooked beef cheeks for dinner... yes, I am eating alone, yes, I am paying for it, but what a treat! There will be plenty of time for the soup/pork and chips/santiago tarte combo later on...

    Yes, I know what you mean about albergues. I am staying in a couple of those, but I am a terribly light sleeper, so I will only stay in Albergues with a private bedroom... I dont mind sharing a bathroom. I hope you are enjoying your camino... where are you now?

    I made it to Grado today. Had my usual fight with myself as I set off "you should get a bus, it's too far for a first day, change to a closer hotel" etc etc. It's the same thing every Camino. I just have to remind myself of how much I have been looking forward to the walk. The scenery is just...

    The Flight from Madrid to Oviedo was great... you get great views of coast and mountains as you come in to land. Getting from Asturias airport to oviedo is simple on the hourly bus (9 €). Unfortunately I got to my hotel (Soho Boutique Hotel) to find they had overbooked... and moved me to a...

    That sound fantastic. I will be interested to hear how you find the Ingles... I hope to complete it in the future. Short stages sound good. I plan to walk approx 20km per day.
