The Camino Primitivo, the inaugural pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela during Moorish rule in Spain, commences in the legendary city of Oviedo. It traverses the high mountains of Asturias, winding through picturesque villages, towns, forests, and agricultural landscapes, ultimately connecting to the Camino Francés in Galicia and reaching Santiago de Compostela. Notably, the city of Lugo stands out as a highlight along this route, being the only fully preserved Roman city in Spain.

Considered the most beautiful and challenging among the Camino routes, the Camino Primitivo likely served as the primary and safest travel route historically. King Fernando II of Asturias sponsored its safety from the 9th century until Queen Leonor established the Camino Francés as the central route in the 11th century.

Spanning 350 kilometers, the Camino Primitivo offers a captivating journey, blending the challenge of walking with the stunning landscapes of Asturias, culinary delights, and enriching cultural experiences. It's a pilgrimage that leaves a lasting imprint long after it's completion. Contact us for information about this camino.
