    Camino Salvador and Primitivo Detour

    The San Salvador takes 4, 5 or 6 days. ( we took 5) It is beautiful and much quieter than the Frances. Some paths are a little overgrown but it is all clearly marked.

    Pilgrims Guide Book versus GPS Apps

    You reply don'the need a book/GPS to find your way on the Frances..it is so clearly marked. However, the Brierley guide is great for information such as alternative routes/ accommodation options/distances etc.

    Camino San Salvador

    Started in Leon 4 days ago. This walk is stunning. Very beautiful with quiet Albergues/pensions. Last day tomorrow. Big climbs and many steep paths. If you are fed up with the battle for beds on the Frances - I would recommend this.
