      Camino Primitivo

      8 de maio, Espanha ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      (Bert) Der Camino Primitivo gilt als älteste Wegeführung des Jakobsweges. Er führt von der asturischen Hauptstadt Oviedo auf 310 Kilometer in anspruchsvoller Weise über Lugo nach Santiago de Compostela. Wir fahren in heute sozusagen in umgekehrter Richtung, sehen viele Pilgerwanderer die Straße kreuzen und manchmal auch am Straßenrand marschieren. Hunderte von Kurven durch oft karstige Landschaft, zumeist auf etwa 1.000 Höhenmetern, mit gelegentlichen Blicken auf den etwas südlich von uns liegenden Hauptkamm der Pyrenäen; dort sind einige Gipfel noch schneebedeckt. … Bei einer Kaffeepause plaudern wir mit englischen Bikern, die mit schwerem Gerät (Goldwings) unterwegs sind; es gibt eine gute Fährverbindung von Portsmouth nach Santander, da bietet sich eine Motorradreise durch Portugal Spanien an. By the way: Die Sozia der weißen Gold Wing ist blind; wieviel Vertrauen kann man haben? … Die Übernachtung ist verdächtig günstig. Das hat natürlich einen Grund, den wir allerdings erst vor Ort erfassen. Das riesige, baulich spektakuläre Kongresscenter in Oviedo, in dem auf einigen Stockwerken noch ein Hotel betrieben wird, scheint teilweise verlassen, vielleicht ist es auch baufällig. An der Rezeption werden wir aufgefordert, in die Tiefgarage zu fahren, auch wenn es nicht so aussehen würde, dass man da hinein fahren könne. So ist es dann auch. Abenteuerlich … Norbert entdeckt eine Sportsbar, in der wir ein Cachopo tradicional essen, eine Art galizisches Cordon bleu. Es ist unfassbar groß und tröstet uns darüber hinweg, dass Manu Neuer kurz vor Schluss den Ball nicht festhalten kann. Real 2, Bayern 1.Leia mais

      Oviedo is big! Definately not what we've been used to over the past week. It has a McDonald's and Starbucks - the first set of junk food we've seen. So much good food, coffee and shopping here with lots of brands we can't get back home (not in Adelaide anyway). Not tempted though considering I'll have to carry any extra weight in my pack for another 350+ kms. The Camino markers here are even more up market - gold shells 😊

      In the end it seems like we made the right decision to take a rest day. I've been icing and elevating my "cankles" with Simon's ice cold beer cans. Beer is so cheap here, from 40 - 65 cents a can, with so much variety. A can of coke costs more than a can of beer! Wasted on me but Simon is making full use of the opportunity.

      Can't wait to start the challenging Camino Primitivo tomorrow. It should be good heading into the mountains. It will be more remote with fewer albergues and limited/ no wifi. I'm mentally ready for the long up and down hills. I just hope my feet will hold up!

      Getting ready to leave Oviedo

      10 de junho de 2017, Espanha ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      How I love this beautiful city. But visiting here and living here are two different things. My camino friend Helena, who is from Lisboa, has married an Asturiano and has found it next to impossible to "break in" and be accepted. And if she can't do it, no one can! But as a city for tourism, it can't be beat. Obsessively clean public places, beautiful old core and a museum or two. The statuary in the streets is like no other city I've seen. A Botero, a Woody Allen look alike(he fell in love with Oviedo while filming Vicki Cristina Barcelona), and many others. The cathedral is going the way of many in Spain, now charging 6€ (4 for peregrinos) for entrance.

      Yesterday I noticed that the mesh on the top of my shoes was starting to rip open. But since this is Spain, where many people still repair things, no problem. The friendly zapatero down the street from my hotel came up with an ingenious solution. 3 hours and 9€ later, my boots were good to go.

      Heading to the bus station after a good cafe con leche and then onto the first flight of the day.

      Oviedo is a city in Asturias province that I have enjoyed. The first pic is the cathdral. The next pics are various looks at the town. The last is a bagpiper in traditional Asturian dress. Apparently the pipes are also traditional here.Leia mais
