Tineo

A gentle 19km walk uphill today from Salas to Tineo.  Overcast skies became fog as the ascent continued.  Thankful the saunter was mostly on country lanes.  

 

Salas

Walked the 22km to Salas under overcast skies.  Clouds kept the temperature cool.  Lots of uphill today, but it is pretty countryside. 

Chapels

Dropped in to the chapel of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, then stopped at a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima and finally at St. Eulalia church.  Lovely roadside shrines only make praying easier.

 

Grado

A long 25km walk on a warm, sunny day from Oviedo to Grado.  It was mostly on asphalt and country tracks.  Stopped by a couple of chapels along the Way.  It is so good to be back to walking!

Oviedo

Made it down to Oviedo.  It is a sunny and hot day.  This is the Cathedral of San Salvador, the beginning of the Camino Primitivo.

Rest day

Moseyed around Gijon to see some of the famous sites after spending most of the day resting.  I was particularly amused by the tower of cider bottles to celebrate the local beverage.  Off to Oviedo tomorrow.

Gijon

Safely arrived in Gijon, Asturias.  Stopped by this lovely Church of St. Lawrence to give thanks.  I am going to take a rest day here tomorrow before starting the Walk.
