About this Camino
A short but strenuous mountain crossing from León over the Cantabrian range to Oviedo, traditionally walked to honour the relics at the Cathedral of San Salvador before continuing on the Primitivo. Steep and wild, with little company and big rewards.
- A genuine Cantabrian mountain crossing
- The San Salvador cathedral in Oviedo
- A natural prelude to the Camino Primitivo
