June 19: Leon

The plan is to walk the Camino Salvador from Leon to Olviedo. From there, I plan  to walk the Camino Primitivo from Olviedo to Santiago. The Camino Salvador got its historic notoriety when Olviedo served as one of the main repository for church items that were evacuated during the Moorish conquest of southern Spain. It became an important way point on the pilgrimage to Santiago.  The Camino Primitivo historic notoriety is that it serves as the oldest route to Santiago, as the Moors initially occupied much of what was the Camino Frances.
