Last year, the San Salvador in late August early September was very busy and in some places not enough beds, when I did it again in late October, there was no one else at all. I think people are finding out about it.
Sorry about the delay. Check the Ender's Guide for ways of spacing it out so as not to have to walk too far each day over more days. I seem to remember that there are some stages when there's not much choice other than albergues. Last time I did it though, my friend and I had dorms all to...
Salvador is the most beautiful of the Caminos I've done. Check Ender's guide in the resources section, for day planning details. I posted recently about my Salvador if any help to you. Difficult for me to find now on my mobile. I preferred it to Finisterre and Ingles, but that maybe b/c I'm not...
Thanks Kirkie - the bar was open, so maybe that is what it is all about. If I did it again I would do Benduenos, the last couple of days are quite tough. Gijón is a wonderful city, I've been there twice now. Take care.
I’ve just returned from walking my Camino de San Salvador, I also walked it two months ago at the end of August. It is a very beautiful Camino, possibly the most beautiful one I have done. It is much quieter than any of the others, especially in October. There is very little litter or graffiti...
Thanks Laurie. Very helpful. I'm arriving into Asturias airport at 9:30pm on Saturday, so was thinking of getting the airport bus to Oviedo (any cheap accommodation ideas there, which I can access late at night?) straight away, and then the next day getting the bus or train to León, and then...
Has anyone stayed at Cabanillas? I'm thinking that with the train to Leon etc, it might be best to divide up the first day and not walk quite so far. Thanks,
Thanks MK, that sounds great. Have you got any tips on good albergues, or places to stay? Any towns or villages along the way that are particularly good, if I choose to stay a day in any of them? Best wishes,
Thanks Laurie, that is so helpful - to get me to think it through. I really like your idea of walking from Oviedo to Aviles, and avoiding public transport. I've not being to Aviles, it's by the sea and close to the airport. I can always come back and do the stretch from Villaviciosa to Aviles...
Hi everyone, I've got 8.5 days to walk the Camino, flying in and out of Oviedo: 26th August to 4th September. It's not enough time to the Primitivo (and I would really like to do that in one go, and not at the height of the walking season). Ideally 20 - 25 km a day is what I would enjoy (I work...
