    primativo in early july

    Hi! I did the Primitivo last summer from Villaviciosa and this year from Lugo. I've posted 'live from the Camino Primitivo streams for both trips. I've read through all of the questions and answers from this stream and I think that I have most still in my head. Insects: No problem from what you...

    Live from the Primitivo (Lugo to Santiago)

    Day 6: Lavacolla to Santiago Even though I only had 10km to walk and could have slept in later (especially given the shouting children at 1am) I still couldn't lay in bed after my 6am alarm went off. So I was back on route at 6:30am. I was looking forward to having coffee/breakfast at...

    Salceda to Lavacolla Continued: My next stop was the Hotel Restaurante Amenal (981 51 04 31). This place has a bar and restaurant and it looks like it would be a nice place to stay. This is where I caught up with some of the Salceda crowd, including Nagypoci. We had both booked into the same...

    Day 5: Salceda to Lavacolla The weather forcast for today was heavy rain. It rained quite hard last night, so I was glad that I was in the albergue and not in a tent. I had a comfortable night sleep and work up at 6am along with 4 other peregrinos. We tried to pack up and leave as quitely as...

    Day 4: Boente to Salceda I´m now in Salceda and would like to thank Mariano for suggesting this as a good place to stay. More about this later. I left Boente at 6:45am. None of the bar/restaurants were open at that time. The first place with something open was Castaneda (2.2km away from...

    Camino from Lugo

    HI Andrey, If you read my ´live from the Primitivo´ strand, you will see that I stayed at O Candido in San Ramon de Retorta and also had breakfast at the Casa do Ponte. I had intended to go to As Seixas, but missed an arrow and ended up taking an unplanned, but easy to follow route, to Palas...

    Day 3: Palas de Rei to Boente Hi Tia! Thanks for your reply. I´d be curiuos to know if anyone else has taken the Navarra-Canada varient. We managed to arrive at Palas around 1pm, so I think that we must have done something near to 20km for the day. Of course, being in the ´bright lights´of...

    Live from the Primitivo (Lugo to Santiago)

    From Casa de Ponte to Palas de Rei on the Frances After leaving Casa de Ponte, Javier and I stopped by the very delightful Roman bridge to take photos. We then chatted along and continued on the same track and eventually ended up on a minor highway. At this point, we saw a sign point to the...

    Live from the Primitivo (Lugo to Santiago)

    Day 2 Continued. The food we had a O Candido was pretty typical menu peregrino fare. I had the ensaladilla russa, milenesa de cerdo with tepid french fries and tinned peaches half a bottle of wine and a bit of orujo to top things off. Not a bad deal at all for 8 euros. Nito is very...

    Still on Day 2: San Ramon to Palas de Rei (on the Frances). Right, hopefully the website will now behave itself. Getting to Santa Eulalia is well sign posted. It took me a bit less than an hour to arrive. The person looking after it said that I was the first peregrina that he had seen that...

    Live from the Primitivo (Lugo to Santiago)

    I did the Primitivo last year starting in Villaviciosa and did a live from the Camino series of posts. I really enjoyed the Primitivo but only had time for a short Camino this year so I´m doing the bit from Lugo to Santiago (which is long enough to get a compostella and a NICE alternative to...

    Live from the Primitivo Aug 25 2011 (final update Sept 1)

    Day 14: Melide to Pedruzo (Arco) (33 km), Aug 19 2011 Our Confraternity guide ended at Melide. I photocopied the last page of Alison Raju´s guide to the Camino Frances. We used this in 2008, so it is out of date with regards to facilities enroute. From Melide to Santiago, the route is very well...

    Re: Live from the Primitivo Aug 28 2011 We are now in Melide! and have finished the ´primitivo´bit. We are now on familiar ground from the Frances.

    Camino Primitivo in September 2011

    Hi! I´m now in Lugo on Day 10 of the Primitvo (we started in Villaviciosa). The camino is quite crowded and most of the albergues fill up before we get there, so we are glad that we have a tent. We have had pretty good weather, but have had some rain, so you will want rain things. Yesterday was...
