El Camino Primitivo It receives its well-deserved name, since it follows the path of the first known Camino. The route followed by the Asturian king Alfonso II the Chaste, to visit the newly discovered tomb of the Apostle Santiago in the 9th century. Our itinerary proposal adjusts to the Path that Alfonso II traveled. From Oviedo, we will cross all the councils of western Asturias: Las Regueras, Grado, Salas, Tineo, Pola de Allande and Grandas de Salime. We will reach Galician lands through Puerto del Acebo.
We will cycle through the A Fonsagrada region, a gentle descent will take us through the historic city of Lugo. We will connect with the French Way in Palas de Rei; Santiago and the Plaza del Obradoiro are very close.
