Journey along the Camino Primitivo and find yourself amidst a tapestry of history and beauty that weaves through the heart of Northern Spain.
This path, less trodden yet deeply historic, begins in the culturally rich streets of Oviedo, winding through the serene Asturian countryside, past quaint villages, over towering mountains, and into the soulful embrace of Galicia.
Each town along the way, from the picturesque Escamplero to the ancient walls of Lugo, tells a story, enriching your walk with layers of history, art, and tradition.
Traverse through serene forests, cross majestic bridges, and ascend to breathtaking summits like Puerto del Palo. And amid all that, you'll discover architectural marvels like the Cathedral of El Salvador and the UNESCO-listed Roman wall of Lugo.
As the original pilgrimage route, this journey has tested the spirit and will of pilgrims for centuries. Known for its physical demands, the Camino Primitivo challenges with its elevations and rewards with unparalleled vistas and spiritual fulfillment. It's a path of introspection and endurance.
While our tours traditionally begin with walking on the first day and conclude with walking on the last day, we understand that some travelers may wish to extend their stay. We can arrange additional days before or after the walking tour, complete with accommodation bookings.
Our commitment to you is unwavering. From arranging cozy accommodations to ensuring your luggage awaits at each new destination, we handle the details.
You'll be equipped with GPS navigation and an in-depth travel booklet curated to enhance your understanding of the Camino Primitivo. And, should you need us, our 24/7 support is always just a call away, ensuring your journey is as seamless as it is memorable.
Your pilgrimage awaits – no medieval armor required. Just bring your spirit of adventure, and let us take care of the rest.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


If I could give 100 stars, I would. I don't know if you're a big company or just two or three people behind this, but thank you for such an amazing experience. It was a beautiful adventure. The trails were perfect, each day different from the rest, and a natural beauty that I have seldom seen elsewhere. I had no experience in the world of hiking, and now I can't wait to do the next one! (hopefully next time organised by myself 😂). I had one of the best weeks of my whole life. Thank you a million guys.
This three day hike was breath takingly beautiful! Diverse and stunning landscapes, with Klemens expert knowledge of the land, its history and culture blew me away :) I was a little apprehensive about my first solo trip, but from the first second was made to feel welcome and at ease. TOTALLY recommend, Thank you Klemen & Hut to Hut! Unforgettable experience :)
