    AK2112 replied to the thread Shoes camino primitivo.
    I did both Frances and Primitivo in trail running shoes. (Salomon Speedcross GTX) I walked in April both times. Very little asphalt on the Primitivo. No reason for trekking boots on either of these routes (IMHO). I always wear trekking socks...

    No. This is only as far as Melide, you have to add another two days to get to SdC (according to Gronze). So 13 days is the correct answer. I did it in 14 days last year, including a rest day in Logo (that I did not need).

    Getting out of Oviedo last April was not easy! I am looking forward to your posts. Buen Camino!

    Hi all! Started today from Oviedo to Escamplero. Now I know, why so many people say it's a bit of a challenge to come out of Oviedo. I got lost just once, but was rescued by a very friendly guy. A short, but beautiful walk by great weather...

    Found him on the way, just before O Cebreiro. That's him in Santiago, and later at home: Made a poncho for his carrier from a garbage bag. Me in my giant tent-like poncho, and him with the garbage bag, looked ridiculous 🤣. Bought him a...

    AK2112 reacted to Trekker One's post in the thread Different because it's shorter with Like Like.
    The Primitivo may be shorter than the full Camino Francis route, but it has arguably many more very challenging days than the Francis route. Some very hilly days until you reach Lugo. But it remains my favorite out of the seven walks I have done...

    I think that it's easier to organize by yourself, because you don't have to worry about anyone else's wants and needs The higher route is closed until April 1st, so you will be taking the route via Valcarlos. That's one less decision that you...
