Combined Guide to the Camino Primitivo

Combined Guide to the Camino Primitivo and the Camino
Finisterre/Muxia
Oviedo to Santiago and on to Finisterre & Muxia
compiled by Liz Brandt
Camino Finisterre & Muxia
I compliled this Guide from many different sources for my upcoming June 2015 Camino. The sources listed below were the most valuable and
contain much additional information. Anyone planning to walk the Camino Primitivo should consult them. This document is definitely not a
substitute for these guides. I have selected and abbreviated the information my husband and I are most interested in, and also combined info
for the Primitivo with Muxia and Finisterre to make it possible to carry a single lightweight guide while walking and to make it unnecessary to
access the internet.

Printing Instructions:
I made this guide in Word 2007 using the Word booklet formatting/printing features. The Word document is too big to upload to the
caminodesantiagoforum.me so it appears there as a .pdf. I am not sure how to print the .pdf as a booklet! If you would like to receive the
word document so you can edit and print it, please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to send it to you.
To print the Word document as a booklet, you will need to select U.S. legal size paper (11 in. x 14 in.) and you will need to use a printer that
prints on both sides of the page automatically. Open the document in Word, select print and choose the following options: Landscape, print
on both sides (flip on short edge). Your printer should automatically print the pages in the correct order so they can be folded or cut in the
middle to make an 11 in. x 7” booklet.

Combined Guide to the Camino Primitivo and the Camino Finisterre/Muxia
Oviedo to Santiago and on to Finisterre & Muxia
Note on distances: Guides vary. Distances for Stages 1-11 are based on the Eroski site which seemed to be the most conservative.
12 & 13 and Stages 14-18 are based on Brierly Guides for the Camino Frances and for the Camino Finisterre.
Stages
Getting to Oviedo: Closest airport is Asturias Airport. It is a +/- 40 minute bus ride from Oviedo. ALSA Bus serves the airport and the cost
of a ride into Oviedo in fall 2014 was 8€. The bus terminal is outside the arrivals area slightly to the right and busses depart on the hour. The
bus terminal in Oviedo is a 10 minute walk from the city center. It is also possible to travel by ALSA bus from Santiago, A Coruna, Bilbao or
Madrid. Madrid, Bilbao and Santiago have international airports. Madrid, Santiago, Bilbao and A Coruna are served by Renfe (the Spanish
National train). There is direct train service on Renfe from Madrid to Oviedo (about 5 hours). FEVE train service runs between Bilbao and
Oviedo.

Brief Summary of how the stages in this guide:
Our plan is to walk moderate days of approximately 25km whenever possible. The stages can be divided in many different ways, However
there are fewer albergues than on the Camino Frances and most experienced walkers recommend some additional planning ahead to avoid
very long days!

(reputedly the bloodstained head shroud of Christ), a silver reliquary believed to contain the virgin’s milk and one of the 30 pieces of gold
used by Judas, and the Cruz de la Victoria carried at Covadonga (the pivitol battle he lead against the Moors). Hours at the Camera


Naranco sites. Church of Santa Maria de Naranco (pre-Romanesque & almost perfectly preserved); San Miquel de Lilo (pre-Romanesque
w/Visigothic influences). Note – it is generally only possible to visit the inside of these monuments with a Spanish only guide (possibly
open more broadly on Mondays). Even w/ guide, time to wander on own is possible. Opening hours for the monuments are: 1 Oct - 31
March: Tues-Sat, 10-2:30; Sunday and Monday -- 10 - 12:30. 1 April to 30 Sept: Tues to Sat -- 9:30- 1 pm and 3:30 - 7 pm; Sunday and
Monday -- 9:30 - 1:00 pm.
Directions for leaving Oviedo (not via Naranco):
Note: the yellow arrows in Oviedo can be VERY confusing. There are arrows leading northwest back to Avila on the Camino del Norte, arrows
leading into town from the Camino Salvador to the south as well as the Primitivo arrows coming into town from Valdedios toward the
northeast and leaving town toward Grau (Grado), southwest. A street plan may be available from the Tourist office. This will help getting out
of town without getting lost.
Begin at the cathedral. Go the left, on the Calle Schultz. Follow the shells in the pavement, and then turn right onto the Calle San Juan. Calle
San Juan takes you out onto the Calle Jovellanos Cross Calle Jovellanos in order to get on Calle La Luna. Calle La Luna leads to Calle
Covadonga, and from there to the Calle Melquiades Álvarea. Then it becomes the Avenida de la Independencia, which is also the N-634 at this
point. Turn left and pass the Asturias and Cervantes Towers. Cross the pedestrian street Príncipe de Asturias (known by people in Oviedo as
the Plaza de la Losa). This brings you to the Calle Samuel Sánchez, and continues on to Calle de la Argañosa. After a stretch on this road, turn
right next to the Bar El Choque, andcross over the FEVE train tracks.
After the tracks, there may be construction, but the route turns to the right on the Calle Bermudo I El Diácono. Then it goes to the left onto
Calle José María Fernandez Buelta, and then to the right on the Calle de Illas, which comes out onto the Avenida de la Florida. In the
roundabout that´s about 300 m along, there is a bronze sculpture of Santiago the pilgrim. After a children´s playground take the street Muros
de Nalón, which leads to the local road that goes up to the village of San Lázaro de Paniceres.
Directions from Oviedo to Naranco sites:
By Bus: Take the A2 from Calle Uria to Naranco and the A1 back. Cost is €1.05 each way.
Walking: 3.7km from the Cathedral. The route is uphill for over 3km and involves many stairs I had dirctions previously but we couldn’t
follow them. the Oviedo tourist office has a town map that is easy to follow to walk to Naranco.
Directions to rejoin the Primtivo from the Naranco sites w/o backtracking:
From the grass field North of San Miguel de Lillo (the church at the top) (the North side is the steep uphill side) starts a path upwards in NW
direction. . The path is washed out and leaves from the end of the field nearest the road. After about 200 meters it joins an asphalted road,
which runs parallel to the Oviedo Sports Grounds (on your left). You'll pass its entrance and carry on straight down the main road for about
1km until this turns sharp left. There is a bus shelter/stop. Turn right and cross the village Ules (there is a bar here) in the direction of El
5
Llano, and straight on until Lampaya. About 300 meters after the few Lampaya houses there descends a track to the left. If you miss it, carry
on and turn left when at a T-junction and you'll eventually come out at the same spot as the track. Follow the road until a little chapel on your
right. This is Llampaxuga where the two paths meet. You should have joined the official Camino towards Loriana and follow the yellow
arrows.
Food Notes (also scattered throughout guide):
Tarta de Queso -- cheesecake
Sidra – local cider poured from above the head of the bartender to the glass at waist height to oxygenate and put fizz in.
Orojo/Orujo or Caña – local spirit that is strong but can be flavored with herbs, honey or coffee. Distilled from grape skins. Should still have
the bouquet of the grapes and should not smell like pharmacy alcohol. The best is from the Betanzos area in Northern Galicia.
Tarta de Fonsagrada – almond sponge cake -- a bit like a spoon-able creamy Tarta de Santiago
Cabrales Cheese – strong native Asturian blue cheese. Also known as Covadonga Blue Cheese
La Peral Cheese – creamier and less pungent (than cabrales) blue cheese native to Asturias
Fabada or Pote Asturiano – Asturian stew usually containing pork sausage such as chosco, white beans and vegetables (cabbage and
potatoes). It can also contain chestnuts and blood sausage
Chosco Tineo – traditional Asturian pork sausage, smoked and containing sirloin and tongue and seasoned with paprika
Morcilla Asturianas – traditional Asturian blood sausage prepared with onion, bacon and paprika, smoked. Commonly an ingredient in Asturian
bean stews.
Seafood and shellfish in Santiago
Albariño. Excellent Galician white wine.
Boños Preñaos. Bread stuffed with chorizo

Camino signs will soo appear. when you come out on the paved road Rondo do Carine and head uphill, watch
carefully fkr the camino sign on the right to go down stairs and pass under the main road. The sign is in an
alcove at the top of the stairs. You only go about 100 meters on the sidewalk of the main road.
