Camino Primitivo

[SarahM]

I just arrived in Oviedo and am staying in a private room to get some sleep after 2 days of travel and no sleep to get here. Am hiking alone and would love to connect with other pilgrims as I head out tomorro

I'm going to the cathedral when they open, around 10 or 1030.. and will then start walking!

I seem to remember they don't have sellos in the cathedral, only in the tourist office! Does anyone else remember?

We got one when we paid for entry -- 4 euros for pilgrims.

Yes what a cheek to charge pilgrims! I remember now. The relics are interesting though.

With any luck you will not be alone as many from El Norte join the Primitivo at Oviedo. At least that was my experience last year walking from Oviedo albeit in Sept.
Buen Camino and enjoy the wonderful Primitivo.

.....and also some coming from the San Salvador who continue to Santiago on the Primitivo!
Buen Camino!

Arrived Lugo yesterday. Primitivo is tough, but survived without pains. Many of my caminofamily had big difficoulties with legs. Some had even use a taxi for last etapas. I’m so happy to be able walk the the Hospitales in fantastic weather. And the next days serpentine after La Mesa was great , too

They charge you in Burgos and Leon Cathedral aswell.
They charge in almost every Cathedral around the world for that matter.

My first stamp was the Cathedral's in May 2018 and a reduced cost to enter for the tour. Mass is of course free.
