Discover the first day of the Camino Primitivo - an epic hike from Oviedo to Grado | Hike the Camino

After arriving in Oviedo at 11.30pm in the rain I did not have a lot of time to get to know the city, which was a pity because the Albergue was right next to the cathedral. It is a beautiful city to visit and spend some time.
Maria at the La Hospederia Oviedo waited for me until after 11am and showed me to my private room, I slept for the first time in 3 days.
In the morning I was greeted by church bells, rain and some rowdy intoxicated youngsters. The rain stopped and I managed to fly aroung the cathedral before heading out of Oviedo. I amanged to pick up some hiking poles at Decathon, but no gloves, as they only stock summer stuff, even when there is snow on the mountains?
The route was pleasant, but eventually the rain caught up with me and I had to go into ninja mode donning a poncho that ends up getting wetter on the inside than the outside.
So about those Goretex Altra Olympus 5 boots. They are super until they are not, when water runs from your pants into your shoes and it does not have an emergency exit, it soon becomes a bit of a nightmare. I eventually stopped, cold and wet, and had a bite to eat and took the opportunity to change my socks and pour the water out of my shoes. I asked for red wine, thinking that it would be a nice way to warm up from the inside, in Spain they serve red wine cold.
I eventually reached La Quintana albergue in Grado, one of 5 beautiful old houses in the town. Grado itself was not that special, but we had a good time in the albergue.

Great drone footage Anton. And it was great to walk and talk along the Camino. I'm sure we'll meet up along life's journey again. Doug

Alright, Anton on the Primitivo!!! Cheering for you. Some very familiar sight for me. 15:15 wow that’s pretty muddy. Epic drone footages. Congrats on completing first day.

Regarding wet weather footwear a tip from the wander lusting lawyer/kate who suggests a Keen type hiking sandals Plus water proof socks. Goodluck

Hi Anton. Great video and footage. Did you walk after January 2024 changes to drone use in EU? How did you find using your drone on the primitivo?

[@hikethecamino]

Hi Brian. I only fly a C0 classified drone in the A1 permit free category, and of course adhere to the rules and regs. My drone got taken out by a flock of birds on the Primitivo in Salas, which was a pity because I was really looking forward to getting Hospitales and Grandes de Salime dam footage. I did manage to get a Mini 4 Pro that I took on the Portugues Central route directly afterwards, so I guess I will have to redo the Primitivo at some stage😃
