    West Highland Way compared to Camino Frances/Portuguese

    Buiza to Oviedo

    I stayed at the albergue in Poladuras with 4 other pilgrims on Saturday night. It was quite nice. The walk on Sunday was breath- taking.. I took my time snd only went as far as Pajaras yesterday.

    Very quiet on day 1

    I started from Leon this morning and am in La Robla at the albergue this evening. I did not see any pilgrims along the way. There are 5 of us at the albergue so far. The weather was perfect and the way is very well marked.
