Camino primitivo!

[Robert Hudson]

Hola, en una semana mas o menos mi voy a caminar el camino primitivo de Oviedas a Fisterra. Tengo preguntas. Este camino tiene camas por dormiendo en monastarios o hospedajes puedo usar por todo los noches estoy caminando? Y que cosas pensan necisito seguro? Pronto voy a comprar un sombrero y zapatos buenos pero quiro caminar sin muchas cosas en mi mochila. Y comida y agua, puedo comprar todo los dias en los pueblos o necisito viajar con agua y comida por poco dias? Por último, ¿qué hay de los lobos y los osos? ¿Son un peligro para los viajeros en el camino? ¿Cómo debería uno prepararse para conocer potencialmente a tales animales? Gracias por tu ayudar. Saludos, Rob Hudson

Hello, in a week or two I am going to start the camino primitivo from Oviedas to Fisterra. I have a couple of questions regarding the camino. Are there places to sleep in at each night of the trek, or would it be wise to take a sleeping bag and tent? And, for those of you who have done this, what items do you regard as absolutely necessary to take with you? I am going to take a good hat and shoes but I don't want to be over loaded with heaps of things I wont end up using. I would like to send my sleeping bag and inflatable mattress along with other items that will weigh me down to the end of the trek to pick them up once I am done. Also, what about food and water? Should I carry enough supplies for a few days or can you buy these items each time you stop at the villages? Lastly, what about wolves and bears? Are they a danger to people on the camino? How should one prepare them selves for a potential encounter? Thank you for your time reading this message. Kind regards, Rob Hudson

In all of the albergues that I stayed in, from Oviedo to Santiago, blankets were readily available. I did not need a sleeping bag (I used a silk liner). Accommodation was easy to find, and I was only walking 15-25 km. daily. Carry water - there are definitely sections of the route where you will not walk through towns/villages/hamlets for extended periods.

Would have considered ourselves lucky if we had encountered wolves and bears! Not likely, no worries.

Yikes! I walked the Primitivo in 2016 and if I'd read about the possibility of bears and wolves on that route, I think I would have reconsidered going!
