it looks wonderful Cole, arn't you planning to do it again? I am planning to do it this coming spring 2023, and I would like to meet some nice people like you. I like you.
Well done! 👍😊👍🎆 Thank you so much for sharing your Camino. Thank you for putting in the maps, lay-bys, fantastic views, Camino passport stamps, buildings, different people's, different gear and most of all this new, to Me, way to traverse El Camino. I, of course, only knew of the Camino because of Emilo Estavez and Martin Sheen. "The Way" It honestly helped guide Me so I would dearly love to get my shell and do pilgrimage, perhaps continuing on to the sea ⛵. Idk. But Thank you♥️
Thanks for the video - well done!! I walked the full Frances in 22 and planning to walk del Norte and Primitivo in 23. This was the 1st video I watched on Primitiveo and I like what I see.
Aubergues are now mostly open and looking forward to your custom I think. There is much debate as to whether you should book or not. I always avoid peak season and go in spring or Autumn so never really felt the need to book though if you want to stay in a particular place it may be worth booking the day before or morning of the day you want to stay. I found it easiest to book on booking.com
I found Tineo to be fascinating, perched up high above a deep valley which was filled with cloud way below as we left in the morning - do recommend the Primitivo 👍
@@ColinProsser1234 Yes I have a travel guitar. But I had slight of change of plans, and will go to Leon to walk the French Camino. Because I am on a special diet (no gluten, dairy-free, no processed food), so I am not sure I can follow the diet on this route specially that it will be off-season. It is a shame, but I do not want to risk it.
Vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Video. Ich bin den Urweg von Oviedo nach Muxia gegangen, einem Ort, der als das Ende der Welt bekannt ist. Es war wunderschön, entspannend, inspirierend und sehr emotional. Es hat mich an die Wege erinnert, die ich gegangen bin , vor allem die Krankenhausroute, wo ich durch die Arbeit des Schicksals das gefunden habe, wonach ich nie gesucht habe, Liebes, aber es war nicht möglich, denn so ist das Leben, nochmals vielen Dank, sehr schöne Reportage. Grüße von Charlotte Nirth Carolina.
It was magical and wonderful to walk, it was 5:45 am and the sun began to rise on the horizon and the cold mountain wind sheltered me with its caresses, making me cry because of so much peace I felt, the entire universe was there, next to me , I could feel the divine presence and all my regrets and fears disappeared, making me take another attitude towards life that I maintain to this day, THANKS TO THE HOSPITALS ROUTE FOR CHANGING MY LIFE❤️
Wonderful guide, mate. Starting my Camino tomorrow from Oviedo and I’m also planning to make some content.. but I can’t outdo this video. Much appreciated.
I've walked the Portugués (from Porto - 240 km) and the Francés (from León - 320 km). Primitivo looks rougher... it may be a nice call for walking and praying. Thanks, greetings from Brazil... Ultreia
Hey Cole, thanks for the video super helpful! Just wondering regarding the hospitales route, can you take it between Pola de Allande and Berducedo? If not, what stops do you recommend making before and after to fully appreciate it?
Great video! I'm looking for something for my partner and I in June this year. Could you summarize the elevation change? I'm okay with hills but my partner leans towards flatter land.
Thanks for the video. Do you consider it to be a safe route if you travel alone? I guess there are still some ppl on the camino you are not on your own all the time?😅
I prefer to decide which allbergue I'd like to stay at then call in the morning to see if they have space. However, about 70% of the time I'll just arrive somewhere and get a place without having booked. This was only tricky once on my trip where the town was booked out because of a motorbike gathering. Finding somewhere else to stay still wasn't hard though. Buen Camino!
I walked but I did see some cyclists. Here's a forum article that may be interesting www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/camino-del-norte-primitivo-bike-july-2020.68058/#post-940436
£1600 sounds like a lot but maybe that's using a company to arrange everything for you? I did it on the cheap, and organised everything myself.... So, per day, roughly: Private Alberge (hostel) bed in dormitory - eur15 Breakfast (toast plus coffee) - eur3 Mid-morning coffee - 1.20 lunch from supermarket (bread, cheese etc.) eur 5 Pre dinner beers eur 4 dinner (2 courses, including wine, bread etc.) - eur15 So that makes about eur 43 per day. Say 14 days (including a rest day?) that makes about eur 600 (about £510). Obviously you'll need to add transport to and from Spain.... Hope that helps
Thank you! That’s really helpful! Yeah it’s through the company that organise it BUT I can’t get any breakdown from them… they keep saying I’ll have a nice room with a privet bathroom. It’s not my priority though. It will be my first Camino and first trip on my own. Did you book your hostels in advance? As I heard some are on a first come first serve basis, I’m worried I’ll end up on the streets 😅
@@katarzynabrozik6317 you won't end up on the streets. Relatively few people use companies to manage their camino for them. It's really easy to do it yourself and you'll save loads of money. I'd recommend (for your piece of mind) just booking your first few nights then, once you get the lay of the land, and hear how other pilgrims do it, you'll be up and running in no time. I only ever book if there's a particuarly nice albergue that I want to stay at. Good luck!
So much guitar music squeaks for me, on the Camino Primitivo it would be more appropriate to put the sound of an Asturian or Galician bagpipe. The most beautiful stage of the primitive Way is "La ruta de Los Hospitales" between Borres and Berducedo, very well described by you.
Thanks for your comment! I agree with you about the music and I searched hard for Asturian/ Galician music (I especially like the bagpipes) but I couldn't find anything that worked. Can you recommend any artists or groups?
Brilliant. I think this is just what I need in September. Don’t like crowds.
Excellent video! Very clear. Very concise. Very useful. Thank you. Buen Camino!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful. First time pilgrim Sept 2023, this is the route I intend on taking. Thank you.
Good video and very informative. Thanks!
Awesome! What a Beautiful path!
Very well done!
I'm planning my Primitivo now!
Gracias Sr Cole, a very concise and informative video, giving much practical information.
Appreicated!
Fantastic video! I did Oviedo-Grado while visiting family (I escaped to do it and went back by train). Hoping to complete it some day! Thanks Cole!
Just finished my third Camino in December. Debating if Camino Norte or Camino Primitivo will be the final one for me. Thanks for sharing.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Amber, many thanks and I hope some day you get to do it.... buen camino !

Have fun!
Wow! Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So nice. I am wondering if the albergues were all open and if you had to call or reserve before due to Corona??

@@ColinProsser1234 Yes, thats what I thought. And Oviedo and Leon is just a bus ride. Thank you, I am excited!

I also had quite a magical experience along the hospitales route - I highly recommend taking this option x

Cole, what month did you hike? Your weather looks fantastic!
It was late September... Weather mostly good, just 1 or 2 rainy days
@@colesushi😅
Can I walk to the albergues and get a bed on the day or do I need to book a bed several days/months in advance?
I prefer to decide which allbergue I'd like to stay at then call in the morning to see if they have space. However, about 70% of the time I'll just arrive somewhere and get a place without having booked. This was only tricky once on my trip where the town was booked out because of a motorbike gathering.

Hi there is possible to do the Primitivo by bike? Do you have the gpx of that Camino?
I walked but I did see some cyclists.
Here's a forum article that may be interesting

This looks like gpx you need-

Thank you! I'm going April 2024. Can you tell us how much did it cost you? Whenever I get a quote it comes back with around £1,600, is this correct?
