CAMINO PRIMITIVO
OVIEDO - ST JACQUES DE COMPOSTELLE
320 Km 12 STAGES (APRIL-MAY 2019) "Δ + 7400m Δ-6800m"
This path crosses the high mountains, it is the path of the origins, the one taken by King Alfonso in the 9th century to go to see the famous remains of Saint-Jacques that a monk had just discovered.
Historically the point of origin of the Primitive Way is in the city of Oviedo, a meeting point with pilgrimages from northern Spain and Europe. In the 10th century, with the consolidation of the French Way from León, the two routes will meet in the municipality of Melide.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Compostela did not attract me so far, my idea of this path was too touristy, I preferred to hike in wild, authentic and calm places to be able to find myself but
while searching a little, I came across the Primitivo which is more demanding, we see fewer people there and in addition we cross the mountain, I answered the call ...
It is not the purpose of the walk that is important, but the small steps that lead to it.
