    Mid-Oct 2025 Primitivo - grateful for any planning thoughts.

    Id listen to @Adelina on weather! Weve done it together and faced some tricky mud along the way. A beautiful unforgettable experience nonetheless. My favorites spots/accommodations were: Miguelin (La Mesa); Alojamiento Los Hospitales (perfect place to venture Los Hospitales); Albergue Palacio...

    Input/advice on last stretch (Lugo-Santiago)

    Thanks @BobY333 very bold! Maybe on my next Camino I can do long legs like you. I will keep that goal in mind!

    Input/advice on last stretch (Lugo-Santiago)

    thanks @dbier ! the room situation as I have understood so far is a 50/50 chance. like you said, an unlucky day may change your plans. I have seen many places i had listed fully booked for October so I decided I was going to book in advance to have peace of mind and walk at a pace I can handle.

    Input/advice on last stretch (Lugo-Santiago)

    thanks @Pafayac ! when i read @Telelama and others on Verde I was very tempted to walk that way. but after some personal deliberation I came to realize Ill be better off walking the French as long as I can try less used stops.

    Input/advice on last stretch (Lugo-Santiago)

    Thank you @Telelama ! I have read and followed your Verde alternative but wasnt sure I was up for it on my own. Maybe I am overly cautious?

    Input/advice on last stretch (Lugo-Santiago)

    Asking for advice on stops (I have 3 nights (12-15th Oct), then walking to Santiago on the 4th day) on my last stretch of the Primitivo (Lugo-Santiago). Breaking my head here trying to avoid the more obvious stops/crowds as the Primitivo meets the French, also some places already full. I know I...

    Making Plans Primitivo

    now now... that is new info to me @Peterexpatkiwi as I was already excited to avoid the Melide-Santiago crowd coming from the Primitivo, the Verde being a really sound option. its a risk then - although hard to say for sure - to go Verde if youd like to get your compostela...

    Making Plans Primitivo

    Hi there! as @Peterexpatkiwi mentioned above OVD is an option. I will be walking the Primitivo in October, flying to Madrid and then train to Oviedo. It was the cheaper option for me (flying from Brasil).

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    thank you Peter! I watched your two videos last night and kept thinking if I am adventurous enough to face the Verde in October on my own. I do enjoy my solitude and will be writing the final part of my latest book as I walk the Primitivo but I am still undecided on the Verde!

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    Hi there Peter, hit this thread as I was searching for alternatives out of Lugo to avoid the French altogether. Youve mentioned youve done it recently. Was that 23 or this year? Would you say the Verde is feasible for October? I leave Oviedo on Oct 2nd. Many thanks and sorry if this has been...

    Credencial in Oviedo

    Any specifics there I should know? Opening times for ex. Just arrive there and check I guess?

    Credencial in Oviedo

    Hi, is it practical to get my 'credencial' in Oviedo? I thought it would be somewhat symbolic to get it at the Cathedral before starting my Primitivo Camino. Any specifics/problems I should know of in waiting till I get there to get mine? Thanks
