What is the percentage of asfalt walking on the Primitivo?
is it necessary to carry a sleeping bag? do all albergos supply you with covers like on the Camino Francaise?
Hi zammy,
At a rough estimate probably 20% asphalt to 80% track. It will depend on the time of year that you are going. If there has been a lot of rain the tracks (especially around Salas / Tineo) can get very muddy and most pilgrims walk on the road. camino-primitivo/topic6274.html
