Northern Route

Map of the Northern and Primitive Routes

This route was first used by the pilgrims to avoid travelling through the territories occupied by the Muslims in the Middle Ages. The greatest attraction is its landscape, as a large part runs along the coastline against a backdrop of mountains, and overlooks the Cantabrian Sea. When you get to Oviedo, you can either take the alternative Northern Route or the Primitive Route.
