Thanks Scuba for posting a question I've been meaning to ask, I will watch the messages with interest. I'm trying to decide whether to continue my Portuguese Camino going on from Tomar, or my northern Camino from Santander. I didn't enjoy either of them as much as the Camino Frances, but can't bear the bed race and want a bit more peace and quiet while still meeting some great people and seeing beautiful places. Maybe Primitivo is the best option. What are the best guide books (or online) for the Primitivo please?
Thank you so much for your lists.... as I am starting to flag things for 2017 Primitivo.Start with Liz's resource: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...tiago-and-then-to-muxia-finisterre-guide.225/
Caminka just added an accommodation list:

If you read Spanish, the Eroski site has a great Primitivo guide, with detailed walking instructions (though those are not necessary because of how well marked it is), albergues, cultural attractions, etc.
Hi Laurap, since you are walking now, what is the average temperature now on the primitivo. ThanksI'm on the primitive now, and I agree with Laurie that the major pinch points have now been solved. Additionally, with new private albwrgues opening, some of the municipals are seeing fewer pilgrims than previously--and thus have more space. When I arrived in Tineo around 6pm the municipal albergue (36 beds I think?) only had 12 people in it. Similarly when I arrived late in Grandas de Salime, there were still beds available. So, I think if you are a bit flexible with your schedule, and/or make some reservations in advance you'll be fine!
I think it was meant to be Padron with Xunta albergue (24 places).What is Perdon?
But that's not on the Primitivo, K1. What's your next guess?I think it was meant to be Padron with Xunta albergue (24 places).
It is, Laurie! Padron is 1,6km after A Fonsagrada and 3,4km before VilardongoBut that's not on the Primitivo, K1. What's your next guess?
Oh oh oh, of course.It is, Laurie! Padron is 1,6km after A Fonsagrada and 3,4km before Vilardongo
on the Camino at the moment, first stop Grado, alberge full and San Jose full, I hope its not like this the whole way !!! really hope there is not a rush for beds every day !!!
any updates ?
Anyone staying in the albergue in Grado in August, say Hi to Margaret and Rowan, two great people from our Blue Mountains group, who will be hospitaleros for two weeks in August. Be gentle with them!

Hello there! From the hospitalero point of view (in a leg of the camino right after Lugo, first leg of the last 100km to Santiago), I can say that August looks like it's going to be VERY busy. Usually the 2-3 last and first days of every month here in Ferreira are very quiet (don't ask me why, I'm not sure); however, the first days of August have been quite busy (except today, that I only have 9 pilgrims at Albergue A Nave and about 12 in Ponte Ferreira; one of the pilgrims in A Nave has a communal, 7-person room with a bathroom inside just for himself, and he's astonished hahaha...). But even on the couple of days that I've had both albergues full, no one has had to stay without a bed, as they carried on to As Seixas and they still had enough beds there (actually didn't get totally full).
Hi Kirsty!, and thank you for your nice wordsI finished my Camino in Muxia a week or so ago and I think I was one of the 9 pilgrims at your Albergue that day in early August!
It is a beautiful new Albergue with great food and a nice atmosphere. Very clean and all the amenities a pilgrim needs...thank you! I hope more pilgrims are stopping at a great little spot
