Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
The Camino Primitivo sets off with great force. This first stage is a declaration of intentions, a challenge that immerses the pilgrim in the essence of rural and mountainous Asturias. Leaving behind the monumental Oviedo, the path ascends rigorously to the Escamplero ridge. The rest of the day is a continuous rise and fall through valleys and hills. It's an stage that requires good physical condition but rewards with its beautiful landscapes. The arrival in the small village of San Juan de Villapañada offers a peaceful break before arriving at Grado.
