- Time of past OR future Camino
- First: Camino Francés 2002; most recent: Norte/Primitivo 2019
Hi all,
As with the Norte, I've been working on a quick snapshot of the state of accommodations on the Primitivo. This is built out of a simple survey sent to accommodations on these routes, asking four questions: a) are they open or do they plan to open soon, b) are they operating at reduced capacity, c) have their prices increased (as a consequence, likely, of reduced capacity and closures), and d) any other advice they'd like to offer 2021 pilgrims.
You can find the (in process) results for the Camino Primitivo here. Plenty of responses still to come; they'll be entered as they arrive.
My impression is that albergue prices have increased a bit more on the Primitivo than on the Norte. (One donativo albergue explicitly advised pilgrims to be leery of higher prices.) In most cases, albergues have self-reported what their new costs are and those are included in the sheet.
As with the Norte, there have been very few permanent closures reported so far (Albergue Buen Camino in La Espina stands out as the clearest COVID-related closure), but I anticipate there's a self-selection bias at work there.
I've got a sheet in process for the Inglés/Mar as well, but the responses are very slow in coming on that one.
