Overview

Have you heard about the Camino de Santiago and even considered walking one of its itineraries (yes, there are multiple routes!)? But you do not have the possibility to take a few weeks off? Or are you doubting whether you are able to hike 20-30 km for multiple days in a row? This tour offers you the possibility to be a pilgrim for half a day by walking part (i.e. 12 kilometers) of the 'Camino Primitivo'. Along the way, I will share specific insights with you about the Asturian history, gastronomy and nature.

Inclusions

  • Snacks - A bottle of water and 2 typical Asturian snacks are included.
  • Pilgrim Credential/ Passport of the Camino de Santiago
  • Private guide during the whole trip
  • Insurances

What to expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Catedral de San Salvador de Oviedo, Plaza de Alfonso II El Casto, 33003, Oviedo Spain

We will start our tour at the Cathedral, where I will explain the relation of Oviedo and the Cathedral with the Camino de Santiago. Since I am not a licensed guide, I am not able to guide you inside the Cathedral.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Monte Naranco, Avenida de los Doctores Fernandez-Vega, , Oviedo Spain

You walk along the feet of Naranco, Oviedo's 'own' mountain, overlooking the city. Occasionally, you'll see vultures circling around. Right on top you can see the monument 'Sagrado Corazón de Jesús'.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Route of Santiago de Compostela, Oviedo Spain

We will hike the first 12k of the "Camino Primitivo", the most original route of the Camino de Santiago. We start in Oviedo. After walking around 4k through the city, we'll enter the Asturian countryside where we will enjoy the pastures, hills and forest. We'll end our hike in a restaurant with a beautiful view on the Asturian mountains after which we'll take a taxi back to Oviedo.

Duration: 4 hours

Debora was a fantastic guide for the El Camino Santiago!! She communicated with us before hand and kept us up to date.
