Hi. I understand things are a bit busy on some of the trails right now, but as a solo walker on the Primitive in summer 2018, the only booking I did was for Santiago de Compostela. Getting a single bed anywhere was not a problem. Buen Camino.
I spent a couple of nights in a cheap air bnb in oviedo before starting the Primitivo in 2018. Flying from NZ I was quite jet lagged so it was good to have somewhere I didn’t have to vacate in the day to adjust my circadian rhythm. Down side was not sharing with any peregrinos before the start...
I did the Primitivo by myself last August. It was my first Camino. I didn’t feel unsafe at all. The only part I didn’t enjoy so much was the last 2 days where it joined up with the CF ...so many people, graffiti, rubbish. Enjoy the Primitivo - it’s fantastic.
I'll be solo doing my first camino (Primitivo) in August as well. I wouldn't have picked it if I hadn't have done plenty of research and come to the conclusion that it was safe and do-able. Mbe see you on the trail :-)
