    Planning a Trip to Oviedo: Exploring Leon or Directly to Oviedo?

    My travelling companions and I will fly into Madrid from North America and then make our way to Oviedo to start the CP. I'm looking for firsthand experience and recommendations for visiting Leon and Oviedo. Is it better to go directly to Oviedo and spend 1day and a half exploring it? Or...

    Guidebook or App for Walking the Camino Primitivo?

    Happy New Year! Should I buy a guide book for the Primitivo? And if so, which one do you recommend? Or should I use an app. I'm interested in finding something to help me plan my distances and stops and to find private accommodations. My American friends would like to walk about 12 miles...
