Dave,Hi all,
As with the Norte, I've been working on a quick snapshot of the state of accommodations on the Primitivo. This is built out of a simple survey sent to accommodations on these routes, asking four questions: a) are they open or do they plan to open soon, b) are they operating at reduced capacity, c) have their prices increased (as a consequence, likely, of reduced capacity and closures), and d) any other advice they'd like to offer 2021 pilgrims.
You can find the (in process) results for the Camino Primitivo here. Plenty of responses still to come; they'll be entered as they arrive.
My impression is that albergue prices have increased a bit more on the Primitivo than on the Norte. (One donativo albergue explicitly advised pilgrims to be leery of higher prices.) In most cases, albergues have self-reported what their new costs are and those are included in the sheet.
As with the Norte, there have been very few permanent closures reported so far (Albergue Buen Camino in La Espina stands out as the clearest COVID-related closure), but I anticipate there's a self-selection bias at work there.
I've got a sheet in process for the Inglés/Mar as well, but the responses are very slow in coming on that one.
Dave
Thanks very much! I look forward to hearing how your walk goes.Thanks Dave. I'm starting the Primitivo tomorrow (just finished the San Salvador) but already planned and reserved which is new for me.rado
@Rebekah Scott told me that she hopes the pilgrim albergue in Grado to open on July 1st.
If I find any changes I'll post here.
Yes, I will be one of them! I contacted David by email before leaving. I missed staying there in 2019 as the albergue was closed for a family issue.Wow, muchas gracias, Dave for the great info on albergues on the Primitivo. Peregrinos, try to be one of the lucky four at Albergue de Peregrinos in Bodenaya.
One and two days too late for me! I stayed in Pensión Cortez in Castroverde the night before last and passed by San Román this morning. It sure looked abandoned.As of today, the following Xunta albergues have reopened on the Primitivo: Cádavo Baleira, Castroverde, and San Román da Retorta.
Glad to hear, thanks! I see it’s still on the Norte by about 2 km before the Primitivo splits off - thanks for compiling this info for us!Yep, I've got that one in the Norte spreadsheet. Such a great albergue! You'll enjoy your stay.
Dave
Hi Malachy,Greetings, I’ll be walking the Primitivo route starting July 31 out of Oviedo. Just wondering how the lodging situation is on that route. I have no reservations booked other than Oviedo. Any advice would be welcomed.
Second Camino for me, Lisboa to Santiago was a nice long pilgrimage!!
You can email then to ask info@caminosantiagoastur.comHello -- I'm looking at the website for the albergue de peregrinos in Oviedo, seeing that a reservation is necessary to stay there. Also, a single room appears to be the sole option, no dorm bed. How much does a night cost at this hostel? I'm debating whether to stay there or at another hostel in Oviedo.....Thank you
Thanks for your comments about the accomadation situation on the Primitivo. I hope you had a good Camino. I am starting from Oviedo on the 8th October.Just finished the Camino Primitivo today, and had no problems finding a bed in albergues. In Asturias, the albergues municipales are still 5 Euros, in Galicia 8 Euros, with private albergues costing 12-13 Euros in general. Gronze.com has accurate info about albergues in all the locations.
