Basecamp Oviedo ~ August/September 2019

[RumAndChupacabras]

Having run all kinds of scenarios for our upcoming 6 weeks in Northern Spain (to house hunt and to walk a Camino), we FINALLY figured out what we are going to do! We're setting up 'basecamp' in Oviedo for 21 days, through AirBnB. Thrilled about this as it's the first time using AirBnB and, our host doesn't speak English. YES to automatic language immersion!!! Then, we hope to walk Camino Covadonga and after that, Camino Lebaniego.

I'm really excited for this experience and hope to be able to meet some Forum Members, in any and all of these places. Also, we're meeting up with a wonderful man. A historian and author who has for 22 years, studied The Sudarium Cloth (in The Holy Chamber of Oviedo's Cathedral)!

Lord Willing, this will all happen. In the meantime, I'll be readinglearning from those of you who've posted about your Camino's in these places.

Buen Camino!

That is awesome.
Can't wait to see pictures and hear what you learn

Sounds like a plan!

But! I confess that I have never before heard of either the Camino Covadonga or the Camino Lebaniego.

...I confess that I have never before heard of either the Camino Covadonga or the Camino Lebaniego...

I only learned in April of last year when I was in Spain for three days with a group of 40 people (including 3 Nuns and one Priest). We went to San Sebastian de Garabandal, Santo Toribio Leibana, Covadonga and the Cathedral in Oviedo. Kind of funny but, near the restrooms at Santo Toribio, I saw a bright yellow flecha! Couldn't believe my eyes but, there it was. It wasn't until a few months ago that I started checking into it.
