Hi Everyone,
I walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela in October and it was an absolutely stunning walk with spectacular scenery. Challenging mountains, hills, lush green forests, heaps of mushrooms, quaint stone hamlets, the delicacies of Asturias and Galicia, the sound of the cow bells... I can't recommend this camino enough!!
I made a video of some of the photos I took along the way because the beauty of this trail needs to be shared

If anyone has any questions or is thinking of doing this walk, please don't hesitate to ask away. I also wrote a daily blog: www.followingthearrows.com
Did I mention how much I loved this Camino?!
Buen Camino,
Kat

Hi Kat
I noticed one of the photos in your video was that roofless stone tower with trees growing up through it which you pass on the right as you descend into Embalse de Salime. I think you labelled it a "cortin". Do you know what it was for? Defence?
Thanks
Mary
I hope that wasn't a Bear Faced Lie Kat!
Yes I had seen that Kat. Just another of my pathetic attempts at humour on a miserable autumn day in el centro de Inglaterra while I impatiently wait for next month's little tapas trip to Madrid.
A cortin is an enclosed safe place for bees. It keeps predators out. There is a good one visible from the museum in Grandas de Salime.Hi Kat

NEVER!!!!I've been back a month and am desperate to walk again, when will I be cured of this walking bug?!
Hi Kat: Extraordinarily beautiful. I am walking the Norte in June 2015 and am considering the Primitivo when I get there. You just may have helped make up my mind with the photo presentation. I am also a beekeeping hobbyist, so I loved the photo you took. I noticed several apiaries when I walked the France in 2012. Well done. JohnHi Everyone,

Beautiful montage Kat. I understand the Hospitales Route is quite a challenge, but looking at your pictures I was thinking a night "al fresco" would be well worth it. Question, when you say "challenging" - how "challenging"? I am wondering if I am not just nust to be considering this. On a scale of 1-10, and giving a grade to the hike from SJPJ to Roncesvalles, or the climb of El Brusco on Del Norte, what would the Primitivo get, and how many days like that would one face? I have found a way to do some very short days, perhaps too short, but at least I would not have many over 20Km.
Thank you for those lovely images set to beautiful music.
... the Hospitales Route to the day walking up to O'Cebreiro on the Camino Frances, but the Primitivo felt like 3 or 4 of these O'Cebreiro days. The climbs (up and down), calm down a bit after Lugo.
Kat[/QUOTE
Kat, your comparison with O'Cebreiro is just perfect, thank you. Clearly another route where I will be praying the walking pole designers were out of MIT and not the local technical college ;0) . @liz Brant - how many points a day do you think I can eat in Chorizo on those points ;0)
...absolutely beautiful...pics & music. Thank you for providing name of the composer for the music also.Hi Everyone,
