This is why you want to walk this route

On the Camino Primitivo you will feel the magic of the Camino to the fullest, as the Celts did before you!

This oldest pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela is also called the wild or green route because of its rugged mountain landscapes. You can walk this Camino in 2 weeks, but don't be fooled by the mountains on this route. If you like a physical challenge, this is your path!

You start walking in the beautiful city of Oviedo. From here you walk 306 km to Santiago de Compostela. After Oviedo you immediately step into nature and tranquility. You walk through small villages where you feel like you are back in time. On day 6 you walk over the beautiful mountain pass the Route de Hospitale or you walk via Polle de la Allande if you want to take it easier. You pass the medieval city of Lugo with its beautiful city wall and in Melide you join the walkers of the Camino Francés.

Are you not ready after Santiago and would you like to be reborn? Then you walk in 3 to 4 days to Finisterre (Fin de terre) 'the end of the world'. Here you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset in the sea and feel like a new person.
