Boca de Huergano-Prioro-Morgovejo-Cistierna? A good idea? any advice?

I've been planning my Lebaniego/Vad for last week Sept-Oct 14th. I was quite happy following the Official guide and route until I read in depth some other options for skipping road walking. I imagine in Oct the main road might be quite quiet. Also I think a lot of the Paths now seem to be off road and maybe even quite interesting. I am of course limited to where I can get accommodation so this may be the final deciding factor. Any thoughts welcome. I would likely walk from Cistierna following the Monastery route into Mansilla. (though I'd love to go back to Buiza and the Salvador).

Yes it's definitely doable, and I would say better than the Riano road route. It's also very wild in a good way, where the path starts to Prioro from Boca I often see wolf kills!. I don't have experience of walking it though and accommodation, but there are accommodation options in Prioro and Morgovejo albeit not Albergues I don't think.

This might help (although you can go from Morgovejo to Cistierna without having to go to Puente Almuhey.

The Albergue option in Prioro is swaying me towards this Wild route..
I'll let you know either way, Thanks,
