Camino de Santiago

Arrived in Oviedo. Preparing to begin our Camino de Santiago pilgrimage along the original (or Primitivo) route

First day on the Primitivo brings us to Grado; the experience is part endurance, part scavenger hunt.

Nursing our injuries in Salas after a difficult second day on the Primitivo

Every kind of weather on the road to Tineo. The joys of rural Spain on a Sunday.

Soaked after two days in the rain, we prepare for the biggest day on the Primitivo: the Hospitales.

Sore and tired, we successfully crossed the mountains on the signature section of the Primitivo: the Hospitales.

After the Hospitales, the steep drop into the fog-shrouded Embalse de Salime valley and the climb to Grandas

Climbing out of fog-enshrouded Grandas; out of Asturias and to the Galician towns of A Fonsagrada and Baleira.

Longest day on the Camino trekking through the forests of Galicia to the hilltop city of Lugo with its historic Roman walls.

A very difficult day as injury requires one of us to end our Camino de Santiago.

While the scenery on the way to Salceda was unremarkable, today provided a great chance to connect with fellow pilgrims.

Last major day on the Camino. Reached the outskirts of Santiago with 196 miles down and four to go.

Arrival in Santiago, the culmination of my Camino, and an unexpected reunion with peregrinos from the Primitivo.

Last stage of our Camino: journey to Kilometer Zero in Fisterra – the End of the World.
