Over on the other thread I suggested starting on the Norte and moving onto the Primitivo. You can check there for the fuller answer.

hello there i have booked a flight to Oviedo next week

from there i can still go to gijon and do the camino norte, or take the primitivo...

i'm really unsure...

where can i actually check the distances? and see description of the routes??

looking for a quieter route this time - last time i did the frances

thank you for the help!!

We favour the Gronze site for its information.
http://www.gronze.com/camino-de-santiago/camino-primitivo.htm

You can use it for the Norte too http://www.gronze.com/camino-de-santiago/camino-del-norte.htm

The maps outline and elevations are good, the text is Spanish, but not essential reading as it is about places rather than directions.

If you want descriptions then try our blog for the Primitivo. Other blogs by other forum members might help with the Norte beyond Gijon.
Buen Camino

I will be setting off from Oviedo on Wednesday morning on the Primitivo route. I might bump into you somewhere.

that's great Tom! I arrive at the Asturias airport on the 4th. still not sure whether to start in Oviedo or villaviciosa. the northern route also crossed mind because of the coastal views but I made up mind now
