Walk two of northern Spain’s most iconic pilgrimage routes, the Camino del Norte and Camino Primitivo, popular variants of the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela. The Camino del Norte stretches 820km (510 miles) along the scenic northern coastline, visiting historic cities such as Irun, San Sebastián, Bilbao, and Santander. The inland Camino Primitivo (221 miles) follows 355km from Villaviciosa through Oviedo and Lugo, offering a quieter, more mountainous route steeped in cultural and religious history. Suitable for walkers of most abilities, the Camino del Norte typically takes around five weeks, while the Camino Primitivo can be completed in about two weeks. The Camino del Norte is described in 32 stages and the Camino Primitivo in 12 stages, each between 15 and 39km (9–24 miles) in length.
