If doing the Camino Norte just before you enter Villaviciosa you see Cideria El Gaitero. We booked a tour and made it on time to take it. It was great.
Finished Norte and loved it! Just one experience left a bitter taste. Walking to Villaviciosa, at the edge of the wooded trail was a hunter posing with the deer he had just shot. Friends and family were taking pictures of him and the small deer he had killed. Regardless on how you feel about...
I did the Frances and it was for spiritual reasons. But I also enjoy walking. Don’t see a problem with staying an extra day somewhere or skipping just industrial area walking. It is your Camino, and yours only. And it will teach you something and change you.
