We're using Cicerone "The Northern Caminos". I'm not big on planning.

Sorry to butt in. If do as planned and turn off the Frances at Leon to take the Salvador/Primitivo route is it possible to buy guide books for these in Leon/Oviedo?

The english language guide, cicerone contain everything you ever want.
There is also this guide compiled by Liz for Primitivo. I attach that file here.
The tourism office published northern guide is an excellent overview...

There used to be a downloadable guide to the Salvador from CSJ bookshop.

It is only 5 stages. You can wing it.
The gronze site has good data on each stage.

The CSJ guide to the Salvador can be found here, towards the middle of the page.
This is the CSJ guide to the Primitivo

The CSJ guides mentioned by others are great. The Cicerone guide is out in a new edition in both hard copy and on Kindle. It also is very good. I think the two best web guides are Eroski and Gronz. I based my document linked above by Rajy62 on these. Buen Camino!

Just wanted to say that Ender has published an English edition of his very comprehensive Guide to the Salvador.

http://www.slideshare.net/caminodelsalvador/guia-ingles-del-camino-del-salvador?related=1 As everyone has said, the Salvador is incredibly beautiful!

Thanks Laurie. I'm hoping to go from Oviedo so I'll be avoiding the Salvador section this time. I think Oviedo to Santiago will be enough for a first visit.
There seems to be a lot of planning involved in getting to the start point though.

Thank you! I've downloaded the guide (which is excellent by the way) onto a pen drive which I will take with me. I hope to be able to print the guide out when I get to Leon. Six days left until I begin from Geneva!
