News from the Camino Primitivo

Finally, sunshine! Crossed the mountains from Oviedo, Escamplero, Bodenaya, Borres, Berducedo, into Grandas des Salimas. Most hamlets may not show up on Google Map. Farm houses, a bar, and an auberge, that´s mostly it. The trail was mostly under water, but after the first step into a deep puddle, what´s there to loose. Looks like there are 10 to 20 pilgrims on their way between stages, although some seem to walk only in good weather. Met one guy who said there are 600 pilgrims on the Camino Frances, no complaints.

Made it into the Spanish Newspaper, well more as the background for a special auberge in Bodenaya.

Less than 200 km to Santiago, the excitement is building...
