Best month for C. Primitivo?

[Juan64]

Hi,
I have already done the Camino twice (Francés in 2014 and Portuguese in 2015).
Now I am planning to do the Primitivo (although starting in Santander to go to Santo Toribio de Liébana on my way, it's Jubilar Year , you Roman Catholics out there ;-).

Can anybody tell me anybody who has done it already when it'd be better: September or October?
I am spanish, so I know what the weather is like in the north; that's why I am asking for first-hand experience.

Thanks

We had perfect weather last end of September into October until rain from Melide onwards.

I have walked Primitivo in July and Frances in Sept/October. Based on that I would say both Sept/Oct would both be fine for weather but there are some small stretches on the Primitivo in Asturias where there could be mud, depending on how much it rains in the weeks before. I could see the mud dried out in July. I mean like 'over the top of your boots' mud, churned up by cows' hooves. Probably not for long stretches, but for ten metres in about 10 places maybe? Once over in Galicia the paths are 'improved' by the Xunta, so mud would be less of an issue. But I would not let that put you off. You walked in April before, it says on your profile, so I would say Sept and Oct would both be easier than April.

We did the Norte in Sept/Oct and the Primitivo in May/June. In Sept/Oct it will be colder in Oct and most accommodations will not have turned on the heat yet. Also the hours of daylight are much shorter in the fall. Even so, we had an enjoyable experience and I would not hesitate to do it again in Sept or Oct.

I did Camino del Norte in May and the Primitivo during the first 2 weeks in June! There were a few of days with a light drizzle, but nothing to hinder the trek, The weather was perfect during the day for hiking with short sleeves and a skort/light weight hiking pants; and all I needed to add in the cool evenings was a light down jacket to be comfortable and warm.
May you have a buen Camino!

Ultreïa!
