I know that the Primitivo is about 321 Km, but how many K's are there in the northern route, starting from Oviedo?
And of course, which one is nicer? easier?
Hello,
I just finished walking from Ponferrada to Santiago early this september, and I am already planning my next Camino of 2017
So, I thought about walking from Leon up the San Salvador to Oviedo, but I am not sure If I want to walk the Primitivo or The Northern route from there to Santiago.

Thank you for your help!
Ultreia.
I'm curious to know how did it go for you and what did you do? God willing, I start in SJPdP at the end of May to Leon and then take the Salvador followed by the Primitivo, hoping to reach Santiago around July 5th, but I'm in panic mode right now as I just learned that the primitivo is very rainy. I'm not afraid of walking, but of the rain. Oh no... Share you experience, please.Thank you both! It's very helpful!
I haven't heard that the Primitivo is particularly rainy, but I haven't done it yet. I'm on the Frances now with a similar plan, but I will connect to the Norte from Oviedo.I'm curious to know how did it go for you and what did you do?

How many miles in the Norte from Oviedo, actually from Aviles, I believe, we connect there first? Thank you kindly!I haven't heard that the Primitivo is particularly rainy, but I haven't done it yet. I'm on the Frances now with a similar plan, but I will connect to the Norte from Oviedo.
I was finally doing some research about my ‘plan’ and read that in a Camino blog or something... not accurate?Tal hasn't returned to the Forum since October 2016. We'll have to guess that he had a good time. I don't know where you heard about rain on the Primitivo, was it an experienced friend?
If you are really concerned about possible weather conditions you could try looking at a website such as Aemet that provides historical records and seasonal averages. But then the Primitivo is in North West Spain, as is Santiago and in North West Spain it rains sometimes.
happy planning
My app tells me 313 from Avilés to Santiago plus 29 km Oviedo - Avilés. 342 total. Did you see my post on your other thread with my proposed 13 day plan for Avilés to Santiago?How many miles in the Norte from Oviedo, actually from Aviles, I believe, we connect there first? Thank you kindly!
Thank you kindly! I saw it. Made a screenshot to keep it in case I need it. I really want to try the Primitivo and not have to worry about getting waterproof shoes or different gear, but I don’t think I would enjoy long, wet days after days... so wanted a plan B just in case.

It could just as easily rain on the Norte as the Primitivo. They are both in the Northwet corner of Spain.Thank you kindly! I saw it. Made a screenshot to keep it in case I need it.

That's a great point! But will the weather be worst up in the mountains vs the coast? Also, muddy roads vs. asphalt roads perhaps?It could just as easily rain on the Norte as the Primitivo. They are both in the Northwet corner of Spain.
