Solo Camino Primitivo in end of Nov 2022

Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Hello, is that possible to do camino primitivo on winter for a solo female? Thanks. I wanted to try that route as I don't like to walk on crowded place.
I bought my return air ticket to Santiago but have yet to decide on the route to be taken. I have total 14 full days.
 
Primitivo is probably not crowded in November, but be aware that it may be difficult to find a place to sleep. I was on Norte in February 2020 and almost all albergues were closed and many hostels too.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Yes, as Heikki says, you may find the albergues are closed, so you'd need to check well in advance for private accommodation, especially in the smaller places. You might also find that the weather isn't suitable for the Hospitales route, though you could go via the Pola de Allande route instead.
You'd definitely need stout footwear as the paths will probably be muddy. Still, a wonderful route! Happy planning!
 
Also Solo, I am flying into Madrid 17th of October, also interested in the primitivo route, I also have two weeks. Just looking at the weather it appears that mid to high 70’s and lows of 50’s . Any chance of moving it to October??
Buen Camino
 
Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
I might be on the Primitivo in the first half of November. I just looked through gronze and although several albergues are closed then, the majority are listed as open. I would still verify openings in advance though
