    HELP -- From the Puerto de Pajares to the Pueblo de Pajares on the Salvador

    Hello Lainey, As we bought a drink in the bar at the Puerto de Pajares (I hope it still exists), we decided to walk on the right side on the N630. There is no space on the left side. We only walked at a moment when no traffic was coming from behind. There are 2 or 3 curves where you must pay...

    HELP -- From the Puerto de Pajares to the Pueblo de Pajares on the Salvador

    Just to be clear. I pasted Tia's picture and put it together with a little map I made in 2013. I don't think the situation has been changed since 2013. At the Puerto de Pajares, you have 3 options. 1) Follow the suggested path at point b (yellow dots) till point d 2) Follow the N630 on the right...

    Camino San Salvador Very Busy

    This is good news for the Camino Del Salvador. Mike, do you have an idea why this camino is now close to saturation? Is it because the Frances is oversaturated and pilgrims are diverting to Oviedo - Primitivo/Norte? Laurie passed in La Robla doing the Camino Olvidado. It starts in Bilbao...

    >>>The recording was made suddenly very late in the evening at the end of our camino. The recording conditions were excellent (no background noise) The two sisters started singing and it was this recording or none. Even the husband of Eva started humming the bass. I know at the end it's a bit...

    Yes Laurie, in Olloniego the camino goes first under the train tracks and goes over the highway.

    Ah, Ender's bridge! Just before entering Poladura de la Tercia. Something like a little bit like lesser then a km before the village. I forgot to film it and I didn't know at that moment about Ender and the bridge he made.

    Susanna, the bridge just before entering the centre Olloniego over the highway? Yes, you can skip this one by following the AS242, the one where the cyclists are coming down from it. You missed also the old fuente. If I remember well, you took a wrong road a few km before Oviedo, somewhere at...

    And here is the last part, the arrival in Oviedo. In Mieres, there are still three hills to conquer. At 15:30 we hear for the first time the anthem Asturias, Patria querida. www.vimeo.com/88135192

    About the sidrerias: we arrived Friday afternoon. This could be a reason that the real sidra was flowing like water in Mieres. Comparing with Oviedo, we had the feeling that there was much more people outside in the streets of Mieres. A few hundred meter of tables full of people in the middle of...

    Susanna, I remembered your message about the owner of the hotel in Campomanes who took you till Pola de Lena with his car. Thomas, Indeed the huge billboards, back to the real world. Advantage: again shops to buy basic food. Laurie, yes, the scallop shells are a good indicator. Between the...

    Campomanes - Mieres is easy to walk. It's all flat except the little hill up to Santa Cristina. After Pola de Lena, there was enough time to learn more about the Camino del Salvador. www.vimeo.com/87446372

    All the "Radio Buen Camino" shouts are coming from the people I met. The galego shout is from Eduardo (primero, because there are two), who I met at Ender's cross together with Susan. Thank you for your observation.

    Susanna, you missed also the sidra from the farmers. :-) It was close to the chapel. This was a funny day because there was the fohn wind, the fish in the fuente with the food thins, the visit of the little church and the mobile meat shop in front of it, Eduardo singing his version of...

    Radio Buen Camino part 19 (5/7) 8:00 in Pajares: the air that I breathe is coming from the mountains. But it's not a cold mountain wind. And what is the link between "un hombre sincero" and a "pobre minero"? www.vimeo.com/86874102

    About the alcohol. You can read some more in the Spanish forum foroperegrinos. :) I don't have images between the Puerto dP and the gate 300m lower. We walked from curve to curve and waited for a clear path. Too dangerous. The cooker in the kitchen. We didn't use the kitchen because there was no...

    Hello Thomas, Susanna, Laurie, Fatma,... Thank you for your appreciation. I was very surprised about the alert indicator. The counter mentioned 36 likes. So thank you for this "work around". I also agree that this part is the best one. First of all the magic of the Puerto de Pajares: the...
