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.
