Camino Primitivo

[Johan van der Hoven]

Hi - We from South Africa and will start the Camino Primitivo on the 8th of June in Oviedo. It will be interesting to hear from more people starting during this period from Oviedo.

Johan, just finished....May 19....sorry I can't join you......love your country and my son-in-law..."Go Springboks".... he is teaching me!
Primitivo is beautiful but damned hard ( at least for this old guy ) yet definitely worth it....much less interesting after Lugo and a bit of a downer when you hit crowds in Melide? Keep a good attitude and remember Asturias. (Eat the food)
Buen Camino

Thanks for the message Brendan. You certainly don't look old and I admire you for walking the Primitive. I will let you know how it went when we finished.

Johan, I'll be starting out from Oviedo on the 10th, so will be a few days behind you. Might see you out there, but I'll be going slowly. Beth

 

[Johan van der Hoven]

Hope to see you Beth!

Thanks for the comment! I hope I will manage, but if I do, I prefer a quite scenic route, even if its a bit strenuous!

You'll be fine pay attention and keep an eye out for the arrows/markings when i was there it was over grown and not well marked in places

Hi there, my friend and I are starting on the 2nd. See you there. We will likely go at a slower pace. Happily.

Hi Julia
That was actually an old post - we did the Primitivo in 2017, but this year I start the Norte on the 2nd May.
Buen Camino!!!
