Camino de San Salvador Pilgrimage from Leon to Oviedo

Welcome to our Camino de San Salvador Blog!  Over the span of 5 days in April and May, we completed this 119 km pilgrimage route from Leon to Oviedo, Spain.  This wild, mountainous, stunningly beautiful walk was unlike any of the Caminos we've previously hiked, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  

We completed the trail after walking the Camino de Madrid and spending two days on the Camino Francés, and before walking the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela. 

Thank you for reading, and 'Buen Camino'!
