3. From Salas to Tineo – Camino de Santiago

This day, you will have plenty of ascents and descents on your way.

The camino will lead you through Bodenaya, La Espina, La Pereda, El Pedregal, El Crucero and finally Tineo. There is not much to see in these villages in terms of history but the nature will compensate for that.

The first settlement is La Espina, where you can find some bars. Beware that after the last bar, you must take a right turn to leave the road and enter a trail. Most of the settlements today will be small ones.

Tineo on the other hand is quite big and there are things to do and see here. Inside the 14th century Convento de San Francisco del Monte you will find the Museum of Sacred Art. You will also find nice restaurants and bars.
On this day your itinerary on the Camino Primitivo will go though: Salas, Bodenaya, La Espina, La Pereda, El Pedregal, El Crucero, Tineo. Here is the map:
