- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2023
- Walk with us from Oviedo through Grado, Salas, Tineo, and Borres to Samblismo. We started the Camino Primitivo (Camino de Santiago) on May 8th, 2023. We made great time, walking from Oviedo to Santiago in 11 days.
This is our first time walking the Camino Primitivo. We hiked the Camino de Invierno in Winter 2023, the Camino del Norte in Summer 2019, and the Camino Frances in Fall 2017. We packed ultralight bags for all of our journeys.

My favorite part about watching other people's Caminos is seeing all the places you didn't see when you did the same thing. It's amazing how different everyone's experiences are.
Agree! Everyone has a unique experience.
I enjoy watching your Camino vids, and remembering when I did the Frances (2014 1nd 2016) and then del Norte to Santander and then in and on the Primitivo. Proud of the latter which I undertook in 2019 after completing chemotherapy for breast cancer the year before, and I was 67 yo. Planning on the Camino de Madrid commencing 1st May this year. Looking forward to it.
Thank you so much. You are amazing for walking the Camino after fighting cancer. The Camino de Madrid sounds incredible. Buen Camino.
Yes!
Very cool Camino! I'm going to walk the primitivo in April with Camino Frances family...getting so excited! Thanks for the video, you two!
Sounds fun! Buen Camino.
Ah! It was you!
In May I was trudging up the long steep road out of Monastery of San Salvador de Cornellana / Corniana when I heard two voices speaking English approach from behind. You both overtook me and took the track through the woods. I caught up with you briefly as you were doing some filming and I chatted to you about Robert Frost.
Fantastic to see your videos and I will watch them with interest.
Anyhow I got to Santiago de Compostela then took the bus to Ferrol to do the Ingles.
I'm back in October to do the Frances.
Buen Camino folks
Haha we totally remember you. Congrats on making it to Santiago! Good luck on your next Camino and thanks for watching.
Walked the Camino Primitivo last October (along even muddier tracks), so this was a nice way to reminiscence. Thanks and 'Buen Camino'.
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s such a beautiful route. Thanks for watching!
You guys look so happy! Love it! ❤
Thank you!
Hi, I’m an Asturian myself and just wanted to make a quick remark, once your glass of sidra has been poured you must drink it all in one sip, if not it losses the bubbles it gets from getting poured that way and tastes worst.
Very true! We're practicing our sidra drinking skills. It's delicious.
Qué envidia me dais!! Qué etapa tan bonita! Sois muy simpáticos. Buen Camino y mucha fuerza para subir tanta cuesta por los montes de Asturias y para caminar bajo la lluvia! Espero con ganas vuestro próximo vídeo!
Muchas gracias!
Thank you for your video! I will attempt to walk the Primitivo come May!
Oh awesome!! Buen Camino.
Thanks for watching.
Good camino beatifuls places
Very beautiful places!
Great videos :-) - In 2022 I walk the French way, and this year or maybe april of next year walk the Primitivo way. Your video is helping me plan it, thank you.
Thanks so much. Buen Camino!
I just finished Camino del Norte 2 weeks ago, and next year I am planning to do Camino Primitivo
Awesome! They're both beautiful routes. Buen Camino!
Hey guys I was wondering if you could do a vlog at some stage (since you are living in Spain for a year) of foods that you can buy in supermarkets (ramon, tortillas, peanut butter, instant rices/pasta etc) for those who want to feed themselves along the way ie: budget hikers on the camino. Thanks in advance - cannot wait to see how many routes you guys do :) Buen Camino
We had this idea, too! Thanks for letting us know it's wanted information. We'll definitely plan to make this type of video. Thanks for watching. Buen Camino!
You guys are so cute and I loved this series. I start the Primitivo end of April and I am debating if I bring a light sleeping bag or just the silk liner. Shawn, I see you are a fan of the liner and I am trying to follow your packing list (but for a 22L backpack). Were you able to find blankets at all albergues along the Primitivo? I do plan on staying on municipal albergues too, so I am very torn. Thanks!
Thanks so much! If you plan to stay in mostly municipal albergues, they almost never ever have blankets. It can get cold in the mountains, so we recommend staying in private albergues or bringing a blanket or light sleeping bag. Buen Camino!
@@DaysWeSpend Great. Thank you all the way from BC Canada :)
At it again 😂
Yup!!
Hey, I'm booking my trip for June 2024 and was wondering if you could recommend alberques to stay in? A video would be good!!!😂 Or some recommendations. Thanks!
We recommend all the places we stayed at, but it really depends on how far you want to walk each day. Maybe we'll make a future video.
I have two weeks in Spain this summer and am deciding between the part of the del Norte or the entire primitivo. How do they compare? I'm leaning towards the primativo to try and finish all of it, but I've heard food on Norte is much better. Thoughts?
They’re both excellent choices. depends if you want mountains or ocean. If you do the Norte, you can start in Bilbao/Portugalette for the most beach walks.
Is that the weather right now? How long ago did you film this? I’m doing the Primitivo next week! Thanks!
We filmed this May 8-11. It’s still very rainy in Northetn Spain. Cool mornings and warm afternoons. Lots of thunderstorms, too.
Buen Camino!
@@DaysWeSpend thank you! Keep the videos coming!
@@kitreyes0925 Will do! We've got the rest of them planned out. :)
Also, talked to some locals today, it's an unseasonably cold June. FYI.
"Hi Lainey and Shawn, hope you're doing well! I've been enjoying your travel vlogs and found your review of hotels very helpful. Could you please share the hotel's contact information or booking link? I'm planning a trip in May 25, 2024 and would love to stay there too! Thank you so much for your time and assistance!"
We're happy to send you our list of places we stayed. Please contact us through our website so we can get that to you.
hi! where did you guys stay in Oviedo?
We stayed at the municipal albergue. Albergue de peregrinos de El Salvador
Hola! Cuanto has gastado de dinero en el camino primitivo? Ellos aceptan tarjeta aún que en los mercados?
Usamos nuestra tarjeta todo el tiempo en Albergues y restaurantes (¡pero el efectivo siempre es bueno también!). No estoy seguro del precio total, pero los albergues cuestan alrededor de 15 € / noche y las comidas también eran asequibles.
@@DaysWeSpend Gracias! Sabes decirme si en los albergues es posible cocinar? Las comidas en el restaurante, cuánto cuestan en média?
La mayoría de los albergues tienen cocinas para cocinar. Como mínimo, suelen tener microondas. Las comidas en restaurantes cuestan una media de €13-15. Pero eso no es pedir pescado.
what time of year.
We walked this in mid-May.
Can I ask what kind of bumbag you're using?
Shawn's is from Sierra Designs: alnk.to/cHKzIK1
Lainey's is from REI: alnk.to/fSdWmqW
Thanks. It was Shawn's I was looking for. It looks nice and big. A good alternative to a smaller backpack 👍
@@thetrailneverends100 He loves it. We'll have a full packing list featuring that bag in 2 weeks. :)
@@DaysWeSpend I'll be looking forward to that 😊👣
Why do you american guys are always smiling... ? Enjoying the free time, I believe.. 😬
Because we're loving life in Spain! :)
Hey guys - I really enjoy your videos. I’m a big Camino fan - I’ve done the Frances 3x, the Norte, Portuguese and the Primitivo.
You present a great balance of fun and info while being authentic to your goofy positive attitude taking what the Camino throws at you with humor, acceptance and relish. Just how I like my caminos!
I actually walked with Hans & Laura last summer ‘22 and had a blast with them.
Question for you: what setup do you use to film your exploits (ie camera/phone/gimbal)?
Thank you so much!
We’re walking the Via Podiensis with Hans and Laura right now and they say “hi!!!”
We film on our iPhones in 4K. We used to use the DJI Osmo Pocket, but our model is now very old! We have a small tripod (and we recently started bringing a microphone).
Thanks for the reply! You guys rock!
Hey to Hans and Laura! What Camino are you walking right now?
I also had an Osmo pocket. I ended up returning it because the screen display was a bit too small for me, and the need for accessories to get wireless transfer to my phone really drove the price up.
Also it fell off a table during a long wine stop (!) and it wasn't terribly durable. That was my fault (wine) and I am hard on my gear like Shawn (even without wine). But the size was amazing and I'm waiting for the Pocket2....
In terms of microphone which one do you use/recommend?
@@DaysWeSpend
We were on the Via Podiensis and the Camino Frances. Our current microphone is the Rode Videomicro Microphone: moment.8ocm68.net/e95E6. It's got great sound for the weight. It does need a tripod mount though.
your spanish is almost perfect, maybe with a bit of a Galician accent. thank you very match for the video
Thanks so much!
"Camino Primitivo: Oviedo to Samblismo"... THAT IS WAY TOO MANY O's! Look at all them O's you're glomming Spain, you give back some of them O's right now! We got people in the Sudan or something with no damn O's because of you. Stop glomming all the vowels bro! Look at "America" we ain't got all that many vowels in our name I mean... um... Okay wait a second.
