Video with information on what to take for the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Tips on backpacks, boots, sneakers, socks, clothing, hygiene, medicines, electronics and more. I walked the Primitive Camino de Santiago from April 25th to May 9th, 2022. There were 15 stages: 1. Oviedo - Grado (26.95km) - Oviedo Pilgrims' Hostel and Villa de Grado Hostel. 2. Grado - Salas (22.08km) - Valle del Nonaya Hostel (Salas). 3. Salas - Tineo (24km) - La Plaza Hostel (Tineo). 4. Tineo - Samblismo Hostel (21km) - Samblismo Pilgrims' Hostel (Hospitales). 5. Samblismo Hostel - Berducedo (23.72km) - Camiño Primitivo Hostel (Berducedo). 6. Berducedo - Grandas de Salime (20.15km) - Albergue Municipal El Salvador (Grandas de Salime). 7. Grandas de Salime - A Fonsagrada (26km) - Albergue Cantabrico (A Fonsagrada). 8. A Fonsagrada - O Cádavo (25.23km) - Albergue Porta Santa (O Cádavo) 9. O Cádavo - Vilar de Cas (14km) - Albergue A Pociña de Muñiz (Vilar de Cas). 10. Vilar de Cas - Lugo (16km) - Lugo Pilgrims Hostel (Lugo). 11. Lugo - San Roman de Retorta (21.25km) - Albergue O Cándido (San Roman de Retorta). 12. San Roman de Retorta - Melide (28km) - Albergue Arraigos (Melide). 13. Melide - As Quintas (21.37km) - Taberna Heidi's Place (As Quintas). 14. As Quintas - O Pedrouzo (15.88km) - Albergue Mirador de O Pedrouzo (O Pino). 15. O Pedrouzo - Santiago de Compostela (24km) - Albergue Seminário Menor (Santiago de Compostela). Considerations: I took too much stuff in my backpack, I would have left behind my second skin set, down jacket, rain pants and many of the small accessories: money belts, padlock, rope, clothes pegs, emergency blanket. I went with Salomon boots and Havaianas flip-flops, both were enough for me. I didn't take my sneakers. I used two apps to get information and find my way around: Buen Camino and Wikiloc. Buen Camino is an excellent free app, it's why I chose the hostels, it was more up-to-date than the Gronze website. Wikiloc gives you a warning sign when you go off the wrong trail. It wasn't essential, since the signage was good, but it helped. I bought a walking stick ($5.99 euros), used it a few times and ended up forgetting it in Vilar de Cas. Since then, I've been walking with walking sticks (branches) that I found along the way. Don't worry about buying the Vieira and the Pilgrim's Credential in Brazil, they are easily found along the way and for much lower prices than here. I bought my Camino Primitivo credential at the first hostel I stayed at, the Albergue de Peregrinos de Oviedo (Albergue El Salvador). I bought the credential for 1 euro. To get to Oviedo, I took a direct flight from Curitiba (PR/Brazil) to Madrid (Spain), and from Madrid I took a train to Oviedo (Asturias). I booked the hostels, but when I got there I saw that many were empty, so I cancelled the ones located before the meeting of the Primitive and French Ways (starting from Melide). This gave me the freedom to choose where to stay during the route. There are public and private hostels, but you can't make reservations in the public ones. I liked all the hostels I stayed in, and below I'll talk about my favorites: Albergue El Salvador (Pilgrims' Hostel in Oviedo): The place is huge, with lots of rooms, beds, bathrooms, and a dining room with coffee and snack machines. Since the hostel was empty, they put a pilgrim in each room, so I paid 8 euros for a room just for me. Albergue Valle del Nonaya, located in the historic center of Salas, right next to the main church. It has beds with curtains, and a bathroom with soap and shampoo. The hospitable family was great. I paid 14 euros, including breakfast. Albergue Samblismo: strategically located at the beginning of the Hospitales Route, it is a small and cozy hostel. Even out of season, I recommend booking in advance. The hospitable Javier prepared a spectacular dinner, so good that it was applauded. I paid 14 euros + 8 euros (dinner and breakfast). Albergue A Pociña de Muñiz: my favorite. The hostel is huge, with great facilities (kitchen, rooms, bathroom, laundry, garden). Tastefully decorated, it has cozy rooms. It is located in Vilar de Cas (rural area), which is 15 km before Lugo. It is also 800m from Soutomerille, a small and beautiful abandoned village. I paid 18 euros (shared). Great food (paid separately). Albergue de Peregrinos de Lugo: municipal hostel, in an excellent location, practically right next to the Roman Wall. I paid 8 euros. The kitchen was not equipped. Albergue Seminário Menor (Santiago de Compostela): a huge place with dozens of rooms and hundreds of beds. It is 15 minutes from the cathedral, is well located, has coffee and snack machines spread throughout its huge corridors, has a cafeteria, kitchen and laundry facilities. The hostel is quite busy. There are shared and individual rooms. I paid 19 euros (single room).
