    What are your favourite places on the Primitivo?

    I believe the albergue you were thinking of between Castro verde and Lugo is in Vilar de Cas and called A Pocina de Muniz. its a wonderful stop 15km from Lugo which gives you a long day there without a rest stop.

    I really couldn't give you a good answer, but my guess would be a couple a days ahead could be enough.

    What are your favourite places on the Primitivo?

    Totally agree with Isca-camigo observation about taking the Hospitals route but would recommend you stay at a Albergue Samblismo. It is about 2km past Borres and puts you at the closest spot you can stay before going over the Hospitals route. Javier is a wonderful host and cook, it is a great...

    Rainjacket/Packcover or Poncho in September

    We have hiked 3 Caminos in September and only had several days of rain combined. I would carry a light weight poncho and a pack cover. If its really warm out you just want to keep the rain off your pack but if its cool and a heavy rain you will use both.
