Primitivo in The Fall

Let's just say I've been around ;-)
Hi! I am hoping to do the Primitivo in the Fall (September). Has anyone done it during this time? How is it weather wise? I am also wondering about accommodations. I know it won't be as busy as the CF but I don't want to be in a bed race every day. (I would prefer to not stay in municipals but I am willing to do it if no other options). Anyone have any input or tips in that regards? And are there any must do's/must stays that you recommend? Thanks!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hi Elizabeth,

At that time the weather is supposed to be quite nice. The temperature is probably between 17/18C min to 26/28C max. You may find some rain.

The net of albergues is quite good. Initially you won't need to take any public albergue (even if I would take some of them - as an example the albergue in Borres is the most convenient if you intend to take Hospitales way).

As a must, I would consider the albergue in Bodenaya and to finalize one day journey in Lugo. Also I would consider as a must the way of Hospitales (only from April to November - as it is your case).

Buen Camino & Ultreia

I'm also planning to start from Oviedo to Santiago on 15th or 16th September :)
 
Thanks everyone for the info! I may run into those you starting in September. I am looking early September (starting in the first or second week) but I haven't firmed it up as I am trying to time it to meet up with friends afterwards. So far my planning consists of cider and coffee (where to find it and how often) and not staying in Borres ;-)
