I was just reading another post where someone said that they thought that the Primitivo was the most difficult Camino.
I did the Camino de San Salvador this past June, and, while it was tough, it didn't kill me.
I did it in 5 days, with my day three from Poladura to Campomanes being the longest day that I have spent on the trail of any Camino I've done. Not the longest distance, but it was a tough day.
How does the Primitivo compare in terms of difficulty?

Love Le Puy, sights, sounds or lack of and definitely food!I did the Salvador in five days also and the Primitivo in eleven. Both were done as part of one walk with the Salvador section starting at the end of June. The last four days on the Salvador were foggy and wet. Other than one night where it rained at night and the path was very muddy the following day, the weather on the Primitivo was beautiful. I thought the Salvador was harder. However, when I got back home and compiled my data, I was surprised to see that the average loss/gain per KM was higher for the Primitivo.
edit: If you're contemplating doing Primitivo, I would highly recommend it. It is my second favorite camino after Le Puy.
Good question...I've wondered that, too, as I've walked the Primitivo and hope to walk the Salvador next year, but have a slight fear it will be very difficult.I was just reading another post where someone said that they thought that the Primitivo was the most difficult Camino.

Oh good! That gives me hope for the Salvador.Can’t say I thought either one was more difficult than the other.
Me, too!Love Le Puy, sights, sounds or lack of and definitely food!
I can't wait to do them both but must recover from back surgery and a myriad of other problems.I did the Salvador in five days also and the Primitivo in eleven.

I share that confidence, @trecile. What time of year are you planning to walk?Thanks for all the feedback. I'm pretty confident that I won't have any problem with the Primitivo. It was just the mention by someone that they thought that it was the hardest Camino that had me wondering.
If all goes as planned I will start on the Norte from Irun around the beginning of September. So I should be in Oviedo towards the end of September. I think/hope that will be a good time of year for the Norte/Primitivo.I share that confidence, @trecile. What time of year are you planning to walk?
