Primitivo in december

[Lisakline]

Anyone know if the primitivo is walkable in december? Are there albergues open for
example? Is the terrain ok in that time of year?

I found the Primitivo challenging in May after a few rainy days! I wrote a blog post about walking in winter and a local pilgrim said "absolutely not the Primitivo in Winter". https://amawalker.blogspot.com/2009/10/walking-in-winter.html?m=1

Take a look at Sara Dhooma's YouTube channel. She walked the Primitivo in November and it will give you a good idea of winter conditions.

A good friend walked the Primitivo in November 2022 and renamed it "El Camino Cerrado" as so many places where closed! They didn't really have an issue with accommodation, but cafes and restaurants were closed a lot.

I walked part of the Norte in February a couple of years ago and nearly every bar/cafe mentioned in the guide books was closed!
