More Information
The Camino Primitivo, or Original Way, is the first pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela to be historically recorded.
It follows the 9th-century path believed to have been taken by King Alfonso II of Asturias and his entourage when they left Oviedo to visit the newly discovered remains of the Apostle Saint James in Compostela.
Spanning the final section of the Camino Primitivo, this itinerary begins in Lugo, the only city in the world to be entirely surrounded by intact Roman walls, then continues along country lanes, paved Roman roads and wooded trails as far as Santiago de Compostela.
At Melide, the Camino Primitivo converges with the last stretch of the more popular French Camino.
Stages:
• Lugo – A Ponte Ferreira (29 km)
• A Ponte Ferreira – Melide (20 km)
• Melide – Arzua (14 km)
• Arzua – Pedrouzo (20 km)
• Pedrouzo – Santiago de Compostela (20 km)
Highlights:
• Walking along the best preserved Roman walls in Europe
• Sampling tapas in Lugo and local cuisine in towns along the way
• Walking through a typical Galician landscape of forests and farmland.
• Reflecting on your journey in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, then soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the old town
Final Stretch 103km, ES
The most famous walk in the world is a large network of pilgrim routes, but many undertake the walk for a number of other reasons including a chance to view the local scenery and an opportunity for peace and solace.
