The last stretch of the Original Way or Camino Primitivo #caminoprimitivo is much easier than the first half, from Oviedo. This stage starts in the fantastic city of Lugo, home to the best preserved Roman wall in Europe, stretching over 2kms wrapped around the old town. Apart from its famous wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lugo is also known for its good food. Many bars in town will serve free ‘pinchos’ when you order a drink.
From Lugo, the Camino Primitivo continues towards Santiago de Compostela across peaceful forests and farmland, following old Roman paved roads and over pretty medieval bridges.This section joins the final stretch of the French Way, the most popular Camino route, in the lively town of Melide where you should try Galicia’s most classic dish: octopus. If you are travelling in October, make sure you catch the traditional San Froilán festival in Lugo.

VISIT THE COUNCIL OF GRADO - ASTURIAS (ESPAÑA - SPAIN)
The Council and town of Grado are situated at the centre of Asturias and is well located being just 15 minutes from the city of Oviedo and less than 30 minutes from Asturias airport and also some very fine beaches.
The Council represents the starting point (or finishing point) of the Camino Real de la Mesa (Royal Route of the |Table). This pre-Romanic route was one of the busiest routes between Asturias and the central plateau of Spain and serviced the community up to the 19th century. There are still traces of the Roman roads winding through the hills, meadows and along the River Nalon.
Grado has a commercial tradition from medieval times which still remains to this day. The town hosts the very popular country market on Wednesdays and especially on Sundays when farmers, craftsman and other providers sell their products in the centre of the village in a very nice, colourful and picturesque market experience.
The town of Grado is built around a historic centre with monuments such as the Palace of Miranda Valdecarzana from the 18th century or the Baroque chapel of Los Dolores. Grado also has some very fine houses and palaces designed in “Indiano”or south Americian architecture. There was large scale emigration from Asturias at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twenty to the Americas, especially Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela and the US. The emigrants brought back a very cosmopolitan and American styled architecture which can be seen throughout the region.
Grado is also a part of the Primitive Route of the Route of Santiago which starts in Oviedo and passes through the town offering a great place for pilgrims to stock up on essentials or take a rest bite from walking A few short kilometres away from Grado are the towns of San Juan de Villapañada and Cabruñana where you will find a Pilgrim hostel which is an ideal location to rest up for the night. As you enter Grado from Oviedo you will find the village of Peñaflor where you can see the Church of San Roman with original Romanic features and the picturesque 12th century bridge crossing the river Nalon.
PLAZA MAYOR, LUGO
La plaza mayor de Lugo, conocida también como plaza de España de Lugo, se encuentra en el lugar donde solia celebrarse, en la época medieval, el antiguo mercado: es decir, al sur de la muralla romana, frente al puente del Cardo, por entonces centro de la ciudad.
Como todas las plazas de mercado de la época, esta fue creciendo con el tiempo hasta convertirse en la plaza mayor que hoy es. Con esto queremos decir que, para dar satisfacción al crecimiento de la población y lograr atender no solo los requerimientos comerciales sino también sociales de la ciudad, la plaza se convirtio en plaza mayor, incorporando, en el siglo XVI, nuevas edificaciones y ampliando su espacio considerablemente.
Por ejemplo, en el año 1738 se construyo el edificio del Ayuntamiento siguiendo un diseño barroco de Ferro Caaveiro con dos torres que acompañan decoradas por los respectivos escudos de la ciudad.
La torre del reloj se incorporó en 1871.

Camino Primitivo (Oviedo - Santiago de Compostela) [ CaminoWays.com
The Camino Primitivo or Original Way #caminoprimitivo is the oldest Camino route, first used by devout pilgrims from Asturias in the 9th Century, including King Alfonso II. The Original Way starts in the elegant city of Oviedo, home of El Salvador Cathedral, an important pilgrimage destination for many centuries. Across the mountains of Asturias, the trail takes pilgrims along peaceful tracks, mountain passes with magnificent views and quaint mountain villages. The first half of this Camino route can be challenging but the views are definitely worth the effort!
The city of Lugo marks the half-way point of the Camino Primitivo. The city famous for its impressive UNESCO-listed Roman wall, and for being one of the best places to eat in Galicia. After Lugo, the Camino Primitivo takes pilgrims on an old Roman paved road, crossing quiet hamlets, woodland and unique medieval bridges. The Original Way joins the most famous Camino route, the Camino Francés, in the lively market town of Melide.

Camino del Norte, 15: Santillana del Mar a San Vicente de la Barquera.
Levantarse en Santillana del Mar sin gente en las calles es extraño. La tarde anterior los turistas abarrotaban cada esquina. Hoy parece otro lugar. Pero tenemos que irnos. 34 kilómetros por delante y mucho que ver.
Hemos dormido en un albergue situado en los jardines del museo Jesús Otero. Salimos de Santillana del Mar mientras dejamos la Colegiata a nuestra espalda.
Cobreces es el primer pueblo importante en nuestro camino. Destaca por sus iglesias neogóticas levantadas con las fortunas de los indianos.
Siguiente pueblo a tener en cuenta es La Iglesia, con templo barroco. Bien cuidado, al igual que Concha, un pueblo con fachadas de sillería, mampostería y balcones de madera.
Comillas ya está cerca. Villa costera de edificios medievales y barrocos. Destaca por ser uno de los pocos lugares fuera de Cataluña con edificios modernistas. Gaudí tiene aquí “El Capricho”, una de sus tres obras construidas fuera de Cataluña. Muy cerca, otro arquitecto catalán, Martorell, construyó el palacio de Sobrellano y el edificio que hoy es la Universidad Pontificia.
Salimos de Comillas por el paseo Solatorre. Nos lleva junto a la desembocadura de la ría La Rabia. Otro bonito lugar de esta etapa.
Volvemos a los caminos entre montes, un campo de golf y por fin, San Vicente de la Barquera. Antiguamente el principal problema fue cruzar la ría para llegar a él. En el siglo XII establecieron un servicio de barca. En 1495 los Reyes Católicos construyen el Puente de La Maza. Un castillo del siglo XV controlaba tanto el puerto como el puente. En lo alto de la villa tenemos la iglesia gótica de Santa María de los Ángeles, del siglo XIII. Desde aquí vemos nuestra última puesta de sol en Cantabria. Mañana caminaremos por Asturias.

Ata aquí as augas do río Té baixan por un curso moi accidentado cunhas ladeiras moi pronunciadas, ás veces un tanto difíciles de remontar, nembargantes no que levamos do su percorrido o río xa ven cargado de sentimentos, tranquilidade, vida e soidade.
First meeting with the ocean and getting the pilgrim credentials in Irún | Day 3 of Camino del Norte
That day started on another beautiful sunny and warm morning on the coast. When we started walking the first thing we saw was the spectacular beach with the rocks in the water that in the morning light looked even greater. The waves were crushing into the shore creating lots of foam and it was truly mesmerising. We walked into the French border city of Hendaye and did a huge round because of the big bay of water that mostly is formed by the river and some port facilities. So we crossed the border and got into the city of Irun from the Spanish side and that's where we started seeing the indicators of the official Camino del Norte that we are taking. We were having a plan of getting into city and doing lots of things like going in the bank, buying groceries, printing some documents etc. But the most important thing that happened was receiving the pilgrim credentials. From now on we have the official proof of going through all the stages of the Way. When we were done in the city we finally started to get out of it and it wasn't very fast until the route started to go between the field lands. The weather was super hot and it was kind of annoying to walk uphill on the road with cars (even though it wasn't very busy). And we still had to walk 9 km as planned. Finally we got out of pavement and walked into the forest. Here we decided to get away from official Camino del Norte trail and hike along the oceanside...

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.
