Camino France (from Sarria) in April/May 2010, Camino Primitivo in May 2013
Hi, I'm Juris from Latvia. I made the shortest Camino from Sarria in 2010 in 4 days and hope to do Primitivo some day... I've already started provisory planning keeping in mind April/ May 2013. So I joined this forum in a hope to find useful ideas and suggestions. The first time forum was very helpful for preparation. However me and my colleague made the route in four days instead of five as was suggested by others. Sarria - Gonzar - Ribadizo di Baiho - Monte de Gozo and last 5 kms to Santiago in the morning of the fourth day.
I'd be very glad If somebody was so kind and share his/ her experience walking Primitivo. I'd like to find some planning tool like for the first Camino I used http://www.godesalco.com. Unfortunately there are no planning options in that site for other Caminos but France.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Welcome Juris,
You will find a number of useful threads on the primitivo section of the forum http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/camino-primitivo/ and also various blog links.
Check out the ones linked to this post amongst others. The globe :arrow: is the link to the Primitivo blog
We used the CSJ printed guide Los Caminos del Norte, F: Camino Primitivo http://www.csj.org.uk/acatalog/The_CSJ_Bookshop_Pilgrim_Guides_to_Spain_23.html
and also http://www.gronze.com/camino-de-santiago/camino-primitivo.htm for our planning.
Enjoy your planning and Buen Camino
 
Camino Primitivo in 8 days

Hi, just returned from Primitivo.
I'd like to encourage those who have read in the Forum that Primitivo is doable in not less than 11 days. I and my colleague Latvian priest Andris started on the 12th of May from Oviedo and did it in 8 days!
We started walking early (around 7 a.m.) every day and walked 10-12 hours per day. As a result at the end we even were able to attend the next Sunday's Pilgrims Mass (to be absolutely precise we started with the Pilgrims Office and were in the Cathedral for the Consecration part of the Holy Mass..).

1. 12/05/2013 Oviedo - Cornellana - 35 kms
2. 13/05/2013 Cornellana - Campiello - 43 kms
3. 14/05/2013 Campiello - La Messa (through Pola de Allande) - 37 kms
4. 15/05/2013 La Messa - Padron - 41 kms
5. 16/05/2013 Padron - Lugo - 54 kms
6. 17/05/2013 Lugo - As Seixas (using Via Romana) - 32 kms
7. 18/05/2013 As Seixas - Brea (Meson San Miguel) - 44 kms
8. 19/05/2013 Brea - Santiago de Compostela - 26 kms.

Distances between stays were measured using my HTC phone's Endomondo application and do not match perfectly those I found at Gronze.com site.
