Is worth a breakdown in the 1 stage of primitivo stopping in Escampero before San Juan de Villapañada? I'm afraid of the 30 km in my ever first day of the Camino Primitivo. Leaving from Oviedo.

This is not correct, there is a beautiful albergue between Grandas de Salime and A Fonsagrada, in Castro. Great dinner as well:The only unbreakable stage is between Grandas de Salime/Castro and A Fonsagrada as there is no accommodation between them.
Buen Camino
Laurie, sorry to say, but it is 30km from Oviedo to San Juan, and just under 25 to Grado. At least that is what Ersoki says.
That is why I said Grandas/Castro.This is not correct, there is a beautiful albergue between Grandas de Salime and A Fonsagrada, in Castro. Great dinner as well:

Folk need to be aware that Castro is a Youth Hostel type albergue and if booked for a youth group will not have rooms for pilgrims. We stayed at Castro and the meals are great, but it is best to check that they are open/available. Otherwise it is as I said, nothing until A Fonsagrada.The only unbreakable stage is between Grandas de Salime/Castro and A Fonsagrada as there is no accommodation between them.
This is great information as I am hoping to ease in a little more slowly too. Thank you!Hi Livinha,
I walked from Oviedo to Escamplero the first day. I stayed in the municipal albergue. It was a nice walk to ease into the camino. The next day I walked to Cornellana.
Buen Camino

Thank you!There are no set stages. We did Grado to Escamplero for our first day and would do it again. There are also private rooms above from the restaurant (a 4 min. walk from the municipal albergue) that you can reserve ahead of time.
I corrected my post. I meant to write Oviedo to Escamplero. Serious mistype thereThank you!
