Welcome to Our Pilgrimage on the Camino Primitivo

Pilgrimage on the Camino Primitivo


Welcome to our Camino Primitivo blog!  Over the span of 12 days in April and May we completed this 320 km pilgrimage route from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.  It was a wonderful experience that was unlike any of our previous pilgrimages over the years.  

Before completing the Camino Primitivo we walked from Madrid to Leon on the Camino Madrid, and then from Leon to Oviedo on the Camino San Salvador.  

Thank you for reading, and 'Buen Camino!
