Unfortunatelly I missed the way again, because there was a misleading sign just after reaching the first viewpoint. The signs says to go left, but really you should just continue the path.
That's the sign. Yes, I started walking towards Aviados, almost reached the top whenI am very sorry to hear about this. Is this the sign that took you in the wrong direction? Did you go to Aviados?

The tracks are downloaded from www.rayyrosa.com. Very good site for peregrinos. Thanks a lot, Ray and RosaGreat photos Suzanas! I stayed in the Posada when I walked the Salvador in 2015!
Where did you download your GPS tracks from?
Yes, Marisa is backBeautiful pictures! That is a gorgeous stretch, and you had lots of time to soak it all in. Is Marisa back at the hospitalera helm in Pajares?
And I totally agree with you about the former parador spot at the pass. That building was closed for many years, and when someone bought it the word was that it was going to be reopened as a hotel. That hasn’t happened, and the bar is less than totally charming, I agree. But the views are still spectacular!
The old “venta”/inn across the street is where you can get some decent home-cooked food, but then you don’t have the views, so it’s a trade-off.
And I hope your blisters are under control!!!
It's still a quiet way, which I like a lot. And being in that albergue felt like being in paradise.What a beautiful day on the camino! And to finish with such a welcoming albergue. I walked the Salvador in 2015. Even though I may notice a couple of changes, it looks still a quiet way.
I hope the heat settles down soon.
Buen camino.
Thanks for the information. Didn't know that. I'll try to get there early, it also depends on the weather, the forecast for tomorrow morning is not too good, it's possible to rain. But I'm looking forward to going there. Camino providesCongratulations, @suzannas! And kudos to you for keeping your tendon issues under control.
Enjoy your rest in Oviedo, it’s hard to imgine a more perfect place for R & R. You may already know this, but the Naranco sites are only open in the morning on Sunday. When I walked up there last September, I made a point to get there in time for the 9:30 opening. There is usually only one guy there in charge of both sites. He will open up Santa María right at 9:30, and then 20 minutes or so later, he locks it up, and walks up to San Miguel and gives a little tour. By the time I was back at Santa María there was a tour bus and a pretty good sized crowd there waiting to get in. I was happy to have gone through with just a handful of people. Nice to have it as empty as possible, because they are really amazing places!
I'm happy to hear thatThank you so much for your informative and interesting reports. I hope your feet soon return to their original healthy state and you enjoy your rest day in Oviedo.
Been there, Done that, Bought the T-shirt! The sign looks like it had a fresh coat of paint, but also caused me a lot of over and bad, and over and back...That's the sign. Yes, I started walking towards Aviados, almost reached the top when
my GPS warned me I was wrong. So I returned and followed the other path and after 50 m I found a yellow arrow. Probably both ways are ok, but there was only this sign, like this is the only option. After me there came a group of Spanish people and they also thought they should go right up. Well, that's camino. Anyway the view from there was great.
I only met a group of four people on the part of Olvidado that I walked, not crowded at all. And this part was probably my favourite on this combination of four caminos.Been there, Done that, Bought the T-shirt!

So glad to stumble on you post ... I'm tempting to head to Spain next week, and was wondering if anyone on the Olvidado. If you arrive in a spot and cannot find accommodation, 'couch surfers' app helped me out once - I just cannot remember where that was.
