Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
First cycling stage of the Primitive Way, the oldest Jacobean route (IX century) and considered the route of King Alfonso II. Departure from Oviedo (Cathedral of San Salvador) to the west through the valleys of the Nalón and Narcea rivers. The 50 km are demanding due to the Asturian unevenness, with mixed forests, meadows and rural villages. Salas is a medieval village with a medieval tower and the collegiate church of Santa María. A stage to get your legs used to the Asturian mountains.
