Grave Digger 7.2 Tyco

Step 3 Camino de Santiago Sala-Tine



Leaving the pretty village of Salas.




Here we are again with all the enthusiasm in the world for the third stage of the Camino de Santiago Primitivo, Salas, Tineo stage.
out again again all together from the club to the Fresnel half past eight, but with a bit of hassle and delays due to the time change in this new stage, I joined the gym two friends, Anna and Oscar marriage.
At about half past nine we were having breakfast in room before embarking on the road with a splendid day both temperature and sunshine, after meet all in the Collegiate Church of Chambers and that some had eaten breakfast at a coffee shop and others in another at ten o'clock we start looking forward empunto our walk today.
The stage begins under the arch that connects the palace Valdés de Salas with the medieval tower, cross the old town and we end of town where some another friendly local people tell us' good pilgrim path ", we take a dirt road that goes beside the river Nonaya and we enter a small, beautiful forest where we can observe the impressive viaduct amazed they are doing right over our heads for the new highway. We continued our walk
gentle climb and without any difficulty and that just punishes the legs and admiring the majestic oaks and chestnut trees found in this small forest, cross the small bridge built for the Clear Way of St. James in the s. XVII (see photo) and continued our leisurely walk for a mile or so until we started to climb steep slope for another mile until we came to El Llanon which leaves us stuck to the general N-634, at this point and due to soaring hope to package it all to cross the road because unfortunately we have to walk almost a mile for her .
continue on this road on the works of the future highway and transit after a tedious and without shoulder asphalt we have a signaling path that brings us to the left leaving the road walking pain in the ass.
We continued to rise that leads to Porciles houses for the well-known "Way of Mass" and after crossing national Bodenaya enters where we make a brief stop to meet the small church, we followed a few feet and stop to rest and drink a little in the beautiful lodge where we waited Bodenaya friendly hospitable to seal our credentials, a character that was hospitable authentic (see photo) with tremendous kindness to us and treatment with a charming, very kindly showed us the nice hostel which was really neat and clean, really glad to meet people like that down the road. We continue our journey
between Bondenaya houses where we greet one another Señoriño that Sunday is working the garden and enjoying the good weather, from this point only separates us more than a mile to the Spina
people

The impressive viaduct saw the forest through the first grade output.





Clears Bridge in the first leg of the route.




A stretch of nearly a mile we had to do before picking up road diversion.





Finally we left the general and take the right path to Santiago.




Bondaneya
The shelter and hospitable of the shelter, an endearing character.




With glorious sunshine and a good sweat in the back because the pack arrived at the church in the village of La Spina, where Richard was waiting with his bus in case anyone wanted to leave the path or wanted to leave some clothes , when we let all the warm clothing we had used in the early hours of the morning, at this point tells us the organization we have half an hour for breakfast, I think when he said that I was already in the bar drinking beer and a skewer, so nothing all at breakfast and a little charro what happened. Half an hour elapsed
grouped us all into the church and we headed for Santiago again, crossing the village along the main road and we take a detour to the right there, the route of the Camino Primitivo and flat front is parallel to the AS-216 where we quietly to La Pereda because from here until everything Tineo the road is flat.
road rehabilitation by local associations of friends is evident in this town where the beautiful Chapel of Christ of the Afflicted (see photo) in the neighborhood of a great tradition Humilladero Jacobean, which settled Pilgrim Hospital and whose foundation is due to the Benedictine monks of San Juan Bautista de Coria.
We leave this population after a series of small rolling hills and always begins our odyssey with the bloody mud, but good after this hard winter have to accept it with patience, we are continuing now on a path from which we have magnificent views across the valley and following this path and after an hour and a half more or less arrived at Pedregal where we stop to eat in the courtyard of the church.
In this small town of Pedregal, found in front of the church one of my biggest weaknesses are Bars Asturias-shop, which I have a large collection of photos many of them unfortunately missing and they can barely survive now days in the villages, this in particular and that I know has a name from my point of view precious bar called "The Coxu" the lame in Castilian, and of course as many of the bars, shop in Asturias is also sealed, so my first stop before lunch was going to take something this wonderful store and pour bar a paragraph with the owners, a charming people, I ask permission to make a picture and as in all bars, stores that were so far I say no problem for them is an honor, for good after a few pictures purchased the eat and drink for the church where they were all eating in the courtyard waiting for me Oscar and Anna with a great empanada check for Ana that was delicious (thanks Anne for bringing a good portion), eat all quiet on the esplanade, for where they were on one side and the other boots of wine, one of the best tools for the mountain, and nothing after filling the crop all flock to the bar for coffee-shop, poor Señoriño couple who run the bar higher I think that should be a major burden since the home opened "The Coxu" gave the poor do not suffice to make coffee even good people who did not lose their kindness in no time they had to call a neighbor to wash out the cups as they went people finishing up the coffee cups because they had so many, it was such a little winch that would not go all at once to have coffee with Gotes, from here I send a big greeting and promise to return to visit. We undertake
gear again and crossed the town of El Pedregal on the road and out we took a detour to the right where we see a stone cross that indicates the way forward and where there was another hospital in the tradition of the poor and pilgrims, From this point begins the path known as Reconco, after two miles, leads us to the town of Santa Eulalia de Tineo. Santa Eulalia
stored in an old mansion, known as "The Monastery", which was inn travelers to Santiago and was home to poor and sick. We now
Zarracina and arrived at the soccer field Tineo and after passing the field where they were playing the game on Sundays with large crowds come to the hermitage of San Roque (thirteenth century), built by the French pilgrims on their journey to Compostela.
The hermitage of San Roque is surrounded by a large and beautiful recreational area with a large grass with lots of trees to provide shade in summer, there was waiting for us again the beauty of Ricardo to the bus, so we took everyone to change us Clothing and footwear leave backpacks and down and quietly to the center of Tineo where the bus pick us up later to go back home. Once
changed and now without the weight of the backpack we drifted from the hermitage of San Roque Tineo toward the center of the Paseo de los Frailes this kilometer walk separating the hermitage of the town to enter the neighborhood of Cimadevilla, which remains the parish church of San Pedro, a former convent of San Francisco del Monte, a place of pilgrimage, for excellence and very close to Mater Christi hospital undoubtedly the establishment of the road leading hospital Jacobean interior.
Once in the town of Tineo we went to the local police station to bring us the ultimate stamp of the day in our credentials and we all went to take a well earned beer at the magnificent hotel "Palace of Ordinary" with an interior courtyard where we quietly magnificent and relaxed until the bus came to pick us up.

Big Booty Women Of Rio De Janiero

Pelugano-Collado de Pelugano-Toliver


Peña Mea entre la niebla.




Hoy os describo una bonita travesía entre los concejos de Aller y Laviana, en un primer momento nuestra intención era subir a Peña Mea pero una vez más el duro invierno no nos permitió coronar este famoso pico asturiano.
Me fui de monte con el grupo de montaña La Fresneda y en este caso me acompañó también mi amigo Oscar, el día elegido fue el 14 de marzo del 2010, para llegar al punto starting just have to take the road up to the port of San Isidro and the height of Levinco take a detour that goes on the left that leads to the pretty village of Pelúgano.
At about 10 am and we left the bus in this town, we prepare for the march and later that day was a splendid sun but then the fog would come and we would spoil part of the planned route.
As I began the route in the town of Pelúgano (Pelluno), located at 570m on the southern slope of the Rocky Mountains of Peña Mea (1.560m), the Pandiella Cueto (1.527m) and Peña Travesuru (1.273m) . The village is divided into two districts Baxu Quarter, where we Barrio leave the bus and Cima, this is situated the parish church of s. XVII, rectangular with 3 ships and a belfry, we walked past her and took a wide and well marked trail that steep rise that leads to the hamlet of La Vallina slowly and with difficulty we crossed a meadow to another reach the source of Troncu, always avoiding the biases that we find along the way, proceeded calmly pronounced due to picking up and going high with magnificent views of the council of Aller and making occasional stops to catch breath, take a drink water and take a couple of pictures, then as I say the occasional stop to package it all began to walk through an area where we could see the first flecks of snow as we gained altitude were ever greater until finally it was all the way through snow (I often snow year).
In this part of the route starts to get the fog and the temperature fall sharply, having to remove gloves, hats and other winter necessities that I thought was not going to use more this season but it seems that this winter never ends pussy.

Pelúgano.




First stop to catch a bit of encouragement.




Well after an hour of steep climb we reached the pass of Pelúgano beautiful all white and snowy area do so if this was so and the fog was completely prevented had Peña Mea climb this mountain pass if you come in spring or summer is truly magnificent with green contrast is striking between the cliff and Peñas Negras Peña Mea, the last time I was here it was a hotbed of cattle, is impressive to see the rising numbers of cows to graze here during all summer. Once
together in the pass of Pelúgano (1,100 m) make the picture of rigor of the entire group and decided to go down the other side due to bad weather. Opposite
the pass leaves a wide track vehicles accessible to livestock that fall comfortable and magnificent scenery leads to the small village of Les Campes (890m), where we make a break for Pinchote something next to the name bar now closed Rest of Baquero, right in front of us the small village chapel built in the seventeenth century, next to the church also is an old yew is a shame to have that in those conditions I do not think that will last five years or more.
From this we continued our descent point between fluffy comfortable meadows full of cattle to the village of Fresnea where to see it was not a winch to grab a cider culín proceeded in easy descent to the small and beautiful village of Tolivia. Tolivia
When we were already two and a half of the afternoon so there was not a soul for the people, so peak in the first house to meet him and ask a friendly Señoriño where we could take something that very kindly the lady that had just opened two weeks ago a "people's house" and had a bar, they come all to the bar, as the day was truly horrible we ask the clerk if we could eat inside, and tells us what we want, we can eat in peace and be there all afternoon, what was my surprise when he says that he is a member of the Asturian group "The Berry", so more than one took a photo with the nice waiter even brought us home some sausages that prove, extremely competent guy. Nothing
once filled a beer belly made some coffee and some shots we came to get the bus back home.

The majestic pine forest at the beginning of the route and that is with us for almost the whole way.





The famous Rock of the four judges.



Although the fog was pretty intense and I could see perfectly Gijón Musel port.





Fario Peak where all television repeaters and telephony to the city of Gijón





From Pico Fario we now turn to the Cerro Gavio or Cimero.




Blow the step in this harsh winter.





The small bar Baldornón people, parents of the famous Chechu Rubiera, a lovely people.




Fario Peak, with its 732m high, can consider, on a clear day, it was not our case a splendid view of the bay of Gijón, but as I say we could see almost nothing through the haze, from this popular peak for the people of Gijón can be seen well south Oviedo and the Aramo the massif Ubiñas, the Sueve and of course the Picos de Europa.
On March 13, 2010 were going to mount the usual but due to bad weather gave the route that was suspended was scheduled, but as his friend Paco and I were bored staying at home all morning because at eight morning calls me and says he's not as bad as what we put the party (as he called the good of my Guela the evening news) so I said why not give a pasein about three hours until the Picu Faria I told him that happy since over ten years was not having it so close up, for nothing, we met for breakfast in the famous district of Carmen de Gijón at half past eight and once made a coffee and put toward the Fario Pinchin.
To reach the starting point only has to take the old road between Pola de Siero Gijón and take the turning left leaving us to the village of Baldornón. To climb to the peak Fario can take a lot of tracks and all without losing lead us through different paths to the top, it can even move as was our case.
We headed to the top of the village of Baldornón Baldornón Rioseco call.
Well as ten o'clock in the morning and after going to pick up the Perrin de Paco, Terry, we get down to work with a very unpleasant time but at least without any rain.
Just behind the house is a track that takes us and no loss to the top, this track in its day was marked with the name of PR-118, but today and the negligence of the municipality of Gijón and is no longer a single brand across the path of what was once the route. All the way and as usual to climb any peak is uphill but the fact that the views, the small forest of pine trees and little inclination through a barely one learns that the road is uphill.
Shortly after the track starts to take tougher slopes, by a concrete track which is resolved at once to the left, amid a small forest of pine trees.
We reached the top where we get a deviation to the right which do not have to pick up, we walked quietly ahead as we face the odd cyclist, in this area and we have a magnificent view of the entire area and Rioseco the tailpiece of Baldornón, we are now in an area called the Llagón belonging to the parish of Deva, from here and despite the fog and have a good view of the port of Gijón Musel the background.
We delve back into the pine forest where he also we can see occasional oak and birch trees that dominated the area before replanting, this is the flattest area of \u200b\u200bthe entire route and soon as we reached the famous "Rock of the four judges," this site is called because once gathered here representatives of the four councils that meet in this point-Gijón, Villaviciosa, Sariego and Siero, to discuss and settle the issues of pastures and livestock.
From this point we began to contemplate the Pico Fario with telephone and television antennas, the path now becomes a silk that will lead us without any loss to the summit with a cold wind and a very considerable. This area is surrounded by pastures and cattle, and I remember years ago because the young people won came to pick bongis (mushrooms) and it came out in impressive numbers for all these fields, but those were good times.
Shortly after walking slowly down this path because as I said the strong wind blowing we reached the famous Pico Fario where we a couple of quick shots and down the cold and wind are tremendous, without further we went the other path down from the same peak to another small watchtower Gavio name or Cimero Hill, where there is a small playground and pavilion also weather the odd antenna, here we see the remains the odd nativity summits of these last Christmas.
From the base of this mountain is a path that will lead us and without loss by the party to which we climbed and without lost again to the point where we have the car, we are gradually coming down the ridge between lush pine forest a few others lying on the road because the wind whips there was this harsh winter.
For about three hours of easy walking calmly back to get the car and as there was a little thirsty we decided to stop at Baldornón bar, bar parents who run Chechu Rubiera, the famous Asturian rider, I had never stopped but the truth is that the mother is one of Chechu most charming people I met with a kindness toward us impressive was telling us when that barin previously bar-shop and had a life just awesome and now open to not get bored because they are both retired, I asked him if he could make a photos inside the bar and told me he wanted and made the poor woman with the patience of the world was telling us all that there had hung trophies of his famous son, the truth is I'm glad to stop in the villages when people is so lovely and so simple.
