May 20th, 2017 Villaviciosa to Camping Deva Km hiked: 23 Km total: 457 Today we had to make a decision, keep going along the coast on the Camino del Norte, or drop into mainland Austurias on the Camino Primitivo. Both go to the same place and are about the same distance, so we didn’t really

May 15th, 2017 Camping de Santillana to Alburgue de Perigrino Camilla Km walked: 23 Km total: 318 I wasn’t able to sleep that well at the campsite, something I attribute to the slanted ground we slept on, making me slide into Carolyn all night. I woke up tired and sore and didn’t really feel like
