hello
i'm planning to walk to santiado from oviedo, is it possible to walk the camino del salvador from oviedo to leon?
or is it better to walk the camino del norte?
i'll be travelling alone, and i don't want to be the only one doing it the other way around...
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
We walked the usual way (Leon to Oviedo) in 2012, and found the way mostly well marked. Not sure, but I think it would be possible to find markings walking the other way if you are using a good guidebook and paying close attention to turns. You'd want to be careful in some sections, especially on the first day between Oviedo and Mieres, and also between Pola de Lena and Pajares. The higher mountain stretch between Pajares and La Pola de Gordon I recall as well marked with bright, yellow-painted, posts that would be visible from either direction.
Buen camino.

thanks Dan, i'm not sure if it will be better to do take this path, or the primitivo...

Well, you can't lose either way. We walked the Primitivo also, and it's great. Not as high mountains as the highest pass on the Ruta del Salavador, but plenty of great terrain and lovely towns along the way.
