Completely agree with Kanga, the Primitivo would be perfect for you. We have walked a number of Caminos and in 2022 we walked the Primitivo for the first time. It is a beautiful walk, well described in the above post and you would be able to walk a full Camino.
Buen Camino.
Hi, the Camino del Norte is a beautiful and spectacular walk and there were no parts that we felt we could have missed, even the industrial area after Gijon and coming into Aviles, they were also very interesting and special in a different way.

Thanks Nic for the kind observations. You probably saw us in euphoric mode due to the imminent arrival in Santiago and the relief that we had made it after 49 days. Glad you appear to have made it home safely. It was terrific to hear an Australian accent at Monte de Gozo and then to see you...
Hi, Laurie, You may well be right about not necessarily being on the option you described. We turned off the N634 just after El Pontarron, followed the path to Orinon and then followed the green footpath to Sonabia. From the entrance to Sonabia we followed a formally marked walking path which...
Hi AC, We have just completed the del Norte, beginning in Irun on 26 April and finishing in Santiago on 13 June, before walking on to Finisterre and Muxia. We have also walked the Frances and Portugues.
