OK Laurie, here are my notes.
(I can t find your latest PM. In fact the new PM is not so user friendly)
- Weather in July & August: Consider walking early. Sun rise is around 07:00
- Seven day itinerary: Day 5: consider stopping in Campomanes because this is a difficult track. Day 6: Campomanes to Mieres is easy.
- A note on waymarking: mojones till the Asturian border. Shells and arrows in Asturia.
- La Robla: albergue is at the end of the centre on the main street at the left side, still on the camino.
- Hostal Ordonez: 35€ with bathroom and shared kitchen, 40€ with private kitchen. Shared kitchen = micro wave, coffee machine, washing machine, vitro keramic stove and basic kitchen ware.
- Ermita del Buen Suceso was not open.
- Pola de Gordon: Hotel El Fontanan is closed for public, notice on the door. But there is a new 2* Hotel: Valle de Gordon, Capitán Lozano 37. Tel. 675 159 259. 50€/2p. Owner can make cenar: 12€/p
- Buiza at the split: the left direction is overpainted: yellow arrow.
- Poladura de Tercia: La Posada: 42€/2p. Cenar = 15€/p
- You can add in the Bold text below: The next day of the journy requires....: Carry a compass or a walking navigator.
- Sta. Maria de Arbas del Puerto: Only open at Sunday.
- From Sta. Maria, the official route follows on the N630 during 1km, just before the silo, just before the bar at Puerto de Pajares. (Last mejon). If you choose to use the bar and/or admire the Asturian landscape: follow the N630. Note: the old parador is for sale. There is a phone number on a notice board. To continue to Pajares: or go back to the silo and follow the arrows, or walk carefully during 700m on the N630 on the right side as there is absolutely no walking space at the left side. At every curve, look behind for approaching trucks. Only walk in a curve if you notice no traffic. Walk till the emergency stop.
- Pajares: before the path joins the N630, the yellow marker points to the left to San Miguel del Rio. Go straight and walk on the N630 if you want to stay in Pajares. After 200m, there is a side walk on the right side.
- Pajares: Hotel Posada real is on the N630 almost at the end of the centre, where the centre road is coming back to the N630. Tel. 600 330 241. Price = 55€/2p for a shared house! All facilities (complete kitchen, washing machine, iron) except wifi or PC. But again, no shops in Pajares.
- Pajares albergue has a lot of PC s. Today, there is only one working. All others have disconnected keyboards, mice are missing, passwords doesn t work. PC s were given by a peregrino. If you have time and the knowledge, you could consider reconstructing the IT part of the albergue.
- Pajares: the hospitalera will ask around 17:00 who is interested in a communal cenar. 9€/p
- Campomanes: Hospedaje Senda del Huerna has 4 rooms con baño. 38€/2p. The owner will offer you immediately fresh mineral water when you arrive. How to access: Open the main door that is always open. Go to the first floor. Owner lives at the left side. Rooms are on the right side. If no response on the left side, go to the 0 floor and check the door behind: owner could be in his private garden. Owner can speak french and has an amazing sello.
shared kitchen with only a micro wave. You can ask the owner for washing your clothes for free.
- Campomanes to Pola de Lena: Camino is now on the right side of the N630.
- Santa Cristina: you will see the roman church on a hill. Here I have a question: is it the goal to continue walking (to the right and may be come back on the camino by doing a kind of loop) or simply after your visit, return to the camino on the same way?`
- Ujo (Uxo): the camino follows the river. You have to leave the camino if you want to enter the center.
- Mieres: Consider to take the first bridge just before the old pedestrian bridge. You will have (finally after many boring kms) a splendid view on the river by looking where you came from. Also the pedestrian bridge: you have to go under the highway and over the railroad.
- Mieres: Hotel Mieres del Camino 3* 60€/2p free wfi, free use of a PC. 6,5€/p for a buffet breakfast.
- Oviedo: Hotel NH 3* 69€/2p, free wifi, free use of a PC. 8€/p for a buffet breakfast.
- Oviedo: bored of Lomo a la plancha con patas fritas? Try Restaurante La Mas Barata, Calle Cimadevilla 2, close to the ayuntamiento. Specialized is rice dishes made in the same way as paella.
- Oviedo: You hear every quarter clocks (I think it s coming from loudspeakers on top of the Cajastur tower) a small part of the official Asturian Anthem
Asturias, patria querida. At the hour, you will hear it completely.
- Oviedo: about the 2nd Salvadorana: check other subject.
- Oviedo: albergue is open from 15:00 till 21:00. Hospitalero is present from 17:00
