I considered that, but if I recall well the distances were too long for me. I might leave my decision open. Calculate about 5/6 days extra and decide when arriving in Lugo whether I'll continue on the Primitivo, take my chances on the Verde or...
I had a second look and you are totally right. The totals of the bars don't correspond with the other totals I found on the PO's website.
These are the totals of the bars:
2022: 21.360
2023: 20.155
2024: 22.198
I don't know which numbers are...
Neither did I. It must indeed be to qualify for a Compostela and to avoid the crowds. But still a strange choice IMHO. In Melide you'll be back in the crowds and I think the Sanabrés from Ourense is a much more attractive 100 km alternative. So...
Yes, these are arrival dates in Santiago, registered by the pilgrim's office. I think most people walk in about 14/15 days from Oviedo to Santiago.

I didn't realise just the last 100km numbers on the Primitivo were that high, and to be honest I don't really understand it. Lugo aside, all the best of it is behind you. I get that people might be looking for an alternative to Sarria, but it...

Thanks for all the concerns and suggestions.
The caretaker(hospitalera) lady of the Borres Albergue, who also runs the El Barin cafe offered to make us a delicious dinner yesterday. She made hot vegetables soup, tortillas de...
Camino Primitivo is usually less busy. I had time only in December and decided to do it anyways. Thanks to the tips from the members of the forum, I planned my accommodation in advance - called and checked if the accommodation is open during...
I don't know of course how much work that would be, but I guess it could be useful for many others. It is at least something I would like to know before walking a Camino. So I know what to expect (and could consider changing dates).
I just had a quick look, and didn't find a way either. The website is run by @JavierLeon, who might be able to cut a data set that meets your needs, either here or on the web page. Although, if you already have what you want, it might no longer...
