    New variant for the Salvador —Camino Allerano

    Oh my goodness... Just when I think I'm making progress on my Camino 'to do' list, it gets longer (and longer....). Can't wait to hear more about it! That part of Spain is gorgeous!

    Salvador must do / don't do

    I agree with everything @Elle Bieling has posted above! If you do have some free time in Oviedo betwen Caminos, you might want to walk to the Naranco site mentioned above. The 2 churches on the hill are impressive and the views back over Oviedo are lovely. I had a picninc up there one day and...

    Favourite albergues on the Salvador?

    Bendueños! Not only my favourite place to stay on any of the caminos I've done thus far, but also one my most memorable stays out of all my travels. Cannott recommend it enough :)

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    The bird strikes again!! :D For me, the trail really got good just after Buiza. Then it was away from roads for a while and into the mountains. Just don't forget about food over these next sections! If I recall correctly, there aren't places to stock up in Buiza or Poladura (nor any...

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    I am sorry if I have discouraged you in anyway from doing the Salvador alone! It is a great route and I loved walking it solo. I met just 6 other pilgrims but everyone was looking out for each other and I felt very safe.

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    The weather was part of the adventure for me! We had heavy wind and rain on the walk from Poladura to Benduenos. The wind was really strong and I was very thankful for my rain gear. That night, there was a great thunder/lightening storm when I was in the Albergue in Benduenos. I stood at the...

    Sounds like a perfect mistake! People were incredibly friendly on this route. One couple in Buiza tried to set me up with their son! They weren't happy that I was walking alone and were quite insistent :D

    Wow! What an amazing experience!

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    I finished up the Camino de San Salvador this past week and what a wonderful walk! The views were incredible, despite some serious weather to contend with. Thanks for all of the previous suggestions and descriptions in this forum. I stayed in Benduenos and had a wonderful night. I didn't want...

    Camino San Salvador, 11th to 16th August 2017.

    Thanks for a great overview! I'm hoping to start this route on Friday and it's good to hear there was no bed race. I've been a bit worried about that!

    Quick report from the Salvador

    Thank you for a wonderful summary! I hope to do the Salvador the last week in August and will likely follow your itinerary. Thanks again!

    Footwear for the Salvador

    After having an amazing time on the Norte and Primitivo last summer, I'm hoping to walk the Salvador this August. Thanks for all who have posted route options etc.! It has been really useful! I haven't read much about footwear for this route. Is the terrain much different from the Primitivo? I...
