SUMMARY:Camino Primitivo | P359 | Level: Mod | September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Camino Primitivo | P359 | Level: Mod (with 2 challenging days in Asturias) | Camino Primitivo \nIntroduction\nThe name Camino Primitivo originates from the ‘first’ Camino by Alfonso II\, king of Asturias\, from Oviedo to Santiago in the 9th century AD. Starting in Oviedo\, it merges into the French Way at Melide. In total it is about 340 km long from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela. It crosses two autonomous regions\, Asturias and Galicia and three provinces (2 in Galicia being Lugo and A Coruna). \nThe main characteristic of this route is the constant ascents and descents making it a relatively challenging route. This means that pilgrims need to have trained beforehand and be physically prepared for the daily uphill climbs. \nFrom Oviedo to Lugo it is a typical mountain route of trails\, dirt treks (muddy at times)\, stone and gravel paths as well as some asphalt roads. The altitude lends itself to spectacular panoramas; one of the distinctive features of this Camino. Also\, at that altitude\, the surrounding greenery intersected by rivers\, streams\, valleys and Asturian hamlets is refreshingly serene. \nLess than 10\,000 pilgrims walk this route annually (of the almost 0.5m pilgrims who collect walk the various Caminos de Santiago annually). Since this route is not as popular as\, say\, the French or Portuguese ways and therefore one does not meet as many pilgrims as one does on these routes. The advantage of this is that it is easier to make friends and share experiences with other pilgrims sharing the way. It also means that hospitaleros and locals are not overwhelmed by and more helpful / accommodating with peregrinos passing through. The route is less commercialised and more authentic. It provides for a good balance of mixing with other peregrinos and walking in solitude. \nPlease\, follow this link to apply.\nFlights\nRefer below for suggested flights \nItinerary (dates may vary by a day or two)\nThe Camino itinerary is spread over 13 walking days as follows: \n \n\nFri 5th Sept: Fly from Malta to Astuarias\nSat 6th Sept: Oviedo to Grado | 26km\nSun 7th Sept: Grado to Salas | 22km\nMon 8th Sept: Salas to Tineo 20km\nTue 9th Sept: Tineo to Pol Allande 28km\nWed 10th Sept: Pola Allande to Berducedo 18km\nThurs 11th Sept: Berducedo to Grandas Da Salime 20km\nFri 12th Sept: Grandas da Salime to Fonsagrada 26km\nSat 13th Sept: Fonsagrada to O Cadavo 24km\nSun 14th Sept: O Cadavo to Lugo 30km\nMon 15th Sept: Lugo to Ferreira 26km\nTue 16th Sept: Ferreira to Melide 24km\n Wed 17th Sept: Melide to O Pedruozo 32km\nThurs 18th Sept: Day 13 O Pedruozo – Santiago de Compostela 18km\nFri 19th Sept: Rest morning in Santiago de Compostela | fly out evening from Porto. (road transit included)\n\nThis event is open only to XirCammini Members. This camino is also characterised by a number of ascents and therefore\, prior training is advised.
