I never walked the Primitivo but I did walk the Norte in 2018.
Thank you for the warnings. Cementing my decision to yet another time do the CF as soon as possible.I never walked the Primitivo but I did walk the Norte in 2018. The Norte is a wonderful camino because of it's beauty but can be pretty difficult with all the up and downhills. Virtually EVERYONE that was walking when I was walking split off and did the Primitivo. Even though we were all solo walkers we saw each other alot and when I got to Arzua there they all were sitting in a cafe having a pizza. To a person they all said that the Norte was a piece of cake next to the Primitivo. Beautiful to be sure but more and often steeper hills to walk up and down, alot rockier terrain and muddy, really muddy. They were all young men and women who used to make fun of the old man when they saw me huffing it up some Norte hills. They told me they felt like me going up the hills of the Primitivo sometimes.
My advice would be to walk the Coastal Portugese. I have not walked that one but I have walked the central route from Lisbon and I know you would not be disappointed. Coastal=flatand on top of that you will love the Portugese people and have better options on where to sleep because as many would attest albergues are not the best place for babies. I love babies and I wish my babies would get on the stick and deliver me a grand baby or two, but with many in a room sleeping and babies being babies, well you know what I mean.
Of course you said it for us allOne of the benefits of being on the camino for me is getting away from my family. Whoops, did I just say that outloud? I meant to just think it.
I walked from St Jean to Santiago via cf withal year old in a Phil and Ted's strollerHey folks!
I had hoped to do my 3rd Camino in 2020...and then in 2021...BUT since I'm not yet vaccinated I'm going to wait until 2022. However, I'll have a baby by then. They will be around 8 months old when I plan to walk.
I know the Primitivo is hilly but is it stroller friendly (assuming I had a rugged stroller, the kind you can run/jog with)? Or should I plan to have a sling/baby carrier thing that I can wear instead?
Any tips are appreciated!
Self-righteous twaddle!To walk the Camino is tough enough for grown-ups; for babies, it is torture, Parents doing it are simply egoistic, for they are prioritizing their own interests above those of their baby, which has no choice and no voice. Responsible young parents can surely wait until their kid reaches 10-12 years, an age at which they can consciously enjoy the experience; alternatively, one parent doing the walk while the other tends to the baby at home.
Will you walk alone with your baby or will there be another adult walking with you?Hey folks!
