Camino Primitivo

A meditative journey on a silent path.

About 320 kilometers from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela.

They took the Hospitales route. Some say this route along the three hospitales ruines is landscapewise one of the most beautiful pieces of the several camino's.

I agree, it's beautiful!

This presentation provides a good overview of the paths of this camino.

In this informative clinic, renowned long-distance backpacker Andrew Skurka will discuss the gear, supplies and skills necessary to make hiking fun, not an arduous chore.

To the End of the World

And again a very recommended mini movie on the Camino Frances

by Hank Leukart.

I know I'm hooked to pilgrimage and the camino. Movies like these probably only encourage these feelings.

And again, if you walked this route, you're into memory lane.

Closer to yourself, he says.

Trailrunners for boots, he says.

Why did we go?

Visit David.

Wake up and just walk and walk and walk.

"The camino is gods dream for how people should be when they are with each other."
Well. You know...
