Hi! We will be trying a similar route from April 29. So enthusiastically I will be waiting for your news ! Buen Camino!(Soon-) Live from the Camino del Salvador - starting end of April 24.
We are currently on the Camino de Invierno around 43km before reaching Santiago - from there we will catch a bus to Leon to start the Camino del Salvador on Thursday. Luckily we have a very generous schedule with a planned arrival in Oviedo on the 2nd of May.
Here’s a rough plan:
Day 1: Leon to Cabanillas
Day 2: Cabanillas to La Robla
Day 3: La Robla to Buiza
Day 4: Buiza to Poladura
Day 5: Poladura to Pajares
Day 6: Pajares to Benduenos
Day 7: Benduenos to El Rollu
Day 8: El Rollu to Oviedo
Any advice, personal favourites, afternoon detour ideas are much appreciated! I’ll start the „live“ posting on ThursdayThank you!
We have a couple of rest days in Oviedo so you might catch up to us!Hi! We will be trying a similar route from April 29. So enthusiastically I will be waiting for your news ! Buen Camino!
Looking forward to meeting you in Cabanillas!"We" are also starting from Leon on Thurs! and staying in Cabanillas... then Buiza.
Santa Cristina de Lena looks wonderful - thanks for the tip! Our plans are pretty fluid so hopefully we manage a detour to visit it.If you like ancient churches, Santa Cristina de Lena is about a 5 minute ascent off camino and it is stunning. The señora used to come up whenever you called her, but things have been regularized now, and there are defined opening hours. It doesn’t open till 11, which might be inconvenient since you are starting that day from Bendueños, and it’s under 2 hours from there. Since you are going to El Rollu that day, it might make for a very late arrival if you stop at Santa Cristina. But it is beautiful, a highly regarded example of Asturian pre-Romanesque.
If you could arrange another breakfast meeting in Campomanes, it would work out great!

Also check out the other Visigothic churches in Oviedo: two in Naranco up the hill from downtown Oviedo, as well as the one in town. Marvelous. The ones in Naranco are closed for restoration but wonderful even from the outside. The one in town has imited hours, I think 10-11AM.We have a couple of rest days in Oviedo
Hope you get better soonThank you all for the help and advice. Unfortunately it looks like my Salvador will be delayed or cancelled. Currently holed up in a hotel in Leon with fever, tonsillitis and no voice. We‘ll see what happens over the next few days or if we just fly home.

We have a hotel booked in Leon until Monday to see if we can walk or not. Looks like we might be starting on the same day then. Where do you plan to stay the first night?I hope you’ ll get better soon! Good luck! Maybe we will meet on the road!
Do you already know when you are starting the San Salvador? Looks like the antibiotics are working so we have a tentative first walking day set for the third of May.Get better soon.
I’ll hit León next week.
Good to know for next time. Where are they located? Last time I just got my credencial in the Benedictine albergue.Do you already know when you are starting the San Salvador? Looks like the antibiotics are working so we have a tentative first walking day set for the third of May.
If you speak some Spanish definitely pay the Amigos del Camino in Leon a visit. We bought our Salvador Credencials there and got all the info you could need for the route. Super friendly people and incredibly passionate about the San Salvador.
Where are you stopping for the first night? We are starting late in Leon (around 11am) because Max has a work meeting first thing in the morning.I AM planning to start on the 3rd May - loos like you might have company!
