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 kilometres) of the 'Camino Primitivo'. Along the way, I will share specific insights with you about the Asturian history, gastronomy and nature.

Activity itinerary

Catedral de San Salvador de Oviedo
  • 15m

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.
Monte Naranco
  • 45m
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'.
Route of Santiago de Compostela
  • 4h
  • Admission ticket not included
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.

Debora was a wonderful guide. She had great communication with us before our walk offering to adjust at anytime if required as I had knee problems a few weeks before we were due in Oviedo. The walk was quite challenging in parts but we were so glad we did it as the scenery was amazing. Can’t recommend this walk or Debora enough.

Rebecca was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She accommodated our time frame and needs to make the walking experience memorable. I highly recommend this experience if you do not have much time to immerse in the Camino experience.

This is a great tour! Highly recommend it for anyone who would like a 1/2 day walk to learn more about the Camino. Debora is an excellent tour guide. She provided historical and cultural information about Oviedo, Asturia, Spain, and the Camino. Participants receive the Camino "passport" and will receive several stamps from stations along the route. Debora ensured that we walked at our pace, taking breaks as needed and stopping at bars/restaurants along the way for a drink or snack or to use the bathroom. My wife, who was a little concerned about being able to walk 12 km, completed the trek. Debora also provided great information for those who are contemplating hiking a full Camino.
