The Camino de Santiago from Oviedo are the first stages of the Camino Primitivo. It is an ideal route for all those people who are looking for a route with some difficulty and who want to discover the north of Asturias and Galicia, on foot.
The tour begins in the beautiful city of Oviedo, from where King Alfonso II departed, known for being the first pilgrim. It is therefore a route full of tradition and history, which will lead you to discover the origins of pilgrim tradition.
This route crosses the Asturian mountains. Along forest trails and surrounded by magnificent views, the route will lead you to explore picturesque mountain villages. The Camino Primitivo is a demanding route, but its beauty more than makes up for the effort.
This stretch of the Camino Primitivo ends in Lugo, a city listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In its streets you will find a huge medieval wall, more than 2,000 years old.
