Arriving and Departing the Primitivo for 100km

ParistoCapeCod · Mar 26, 2016

Hi All, I just caused myself to panic because I forgot which bus line schedule to look at. We are flying Boston-Madrid-A Coruna, then taking the Arriva, not Alsa, bus to Lugo to begin. The Arriva bus takes about an hour and costs 11 euro. The Alsa bus goes to Oviedo, then back to Lugo, in 6.5 hours.

Leaving Santiago de Compostela by airport to Madrid-JFK-Boston is easy. Lugo to SdC is just over 100 km and an alternative to starting in Sarria. We begin on April 18.

Buen camino, Lisa and TJ

Hi, ParistoCapeCod and Buen Camino!

If you want to start your camino with a wow-inducing little detour to a Roman shrine/crypt, you can visit Santa Eulalia de Boveda. It adds only a few km to the camino (but check hours and days of visit). Juanma's Facebook page has a great explanation of the route -- and if you worry that your detour might make you late to get a bed, you can reserve in Ponte Ferreira with Juanma. (It is, by all accounts, a not to be missed albergue).

Hi, I read your much earlier posts here https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/route-from-lugo-to-sobrado.17132/ and am really hoping to see Santa Eulalia, I hope the timing is right.

We are arriving in Madrid on May 5th. I went online today to purchase train tickets to Oviedo and it doesn't show any train service. Does that mean the trains are sold out? Or maybe some other...

Hi, has anyone walked the Primitivo in mid-October? What was it like? Weather, tracks and accommodation? I plan to walk from Oviedo to Lugo only, then bus to Santiago after. Thanks for your input.
