>>2050408>Considering doing Camino salvador into primitivo and taking my time enjoying the scenery and culture.Excelent combo anon. The Salvador has little traffic, great views and the highest pass of any Camino iirc. I too had planned to do both but I was hiking the Salvador in shorts without accounting for how little travelled some paths of it were and how much vegetation overgrowth I would find, that resulted in dozens of tick bites.
So make sure you have permethrin and check your body for ticks.
>>2050446Obviously the more the better but you can away with little spanish. Most pilgrim related stuff either have people who speak english or there are other pilgrims that can help you with something if you need to. Now most pilgrims are still Spanish, some are older, if you want to sit at the table and have conversations during let's say dinner it's a big plus to understand the language.
Spaniards are a nice bunch and top bros, have had people from the street letting me use their phone to make a call because mine had died.
For those reticent of doing it alone because autism and all of that I swear you you'll be more comfortable and confident there than at home. When you only have yourself to rely on, things become natural. The environment pushes yourself out of your shell, specially if the language is foreign to you, for that alone the Camino is worth.
Hopefully this doesn't change much with the stupid virus.
>>2050379From May to late September is high season, everything is open but there's also much more people. If you want solitude then April, March, February, October or November are ok, many albergues are still working in those months, specially the state run ones. You still should check and book ahead if possible. If you are a barely competent /out/ist and have you own gear then you can do it any time you like it, set your tent on a farmers fiel or bushes and you're good to go.
Having the chance you should definitely go for it man.
