Hello!

I am thinking about doing the Primitivo again next year. In 2023 I started mid April, all albergues was open. This time I am considering late March, and I intend to do it in aprox 13 days (like described at Gronze.com) as last time.

Does any of you know if most albergues are opened for the season? Or is late March early-ish?

Cheers,

André

The easiest way for you to suss this out is to go to gronze.com and scroll through. The website has a page for all Primitivo albergues along with dates. You just click through to the end stage and then all the lodgings (not only albergues) pop up. This site is probably the most up to date.

Here’s the listing for the Grado albergue and even if you don’t speak Spanish you can probably see that it’s open March 1 - October 31.

Wow, I have used gronze.com so many times, never really noticed the dates!

Thank you.

You're right on the cusp. A lot of places don't open until April, and especially given the very late Easter next year, there's less chance of them opening earlier. I track accommodations for the Primitivo here, and it's easy to scroll through opening months in Column J, but the response rate hasn't been great so far. A lot of that info is still for 2024, not 2025.

Having said that, I walked the Primitivo in March last year and had no trouble finding enough open albergues.
