Discover La Espina

The Thorn is a locality in the Salas council that functions as an important communication hub in western Asturias. For pilgrims on the Primitivo Way, it represents a functional and strategic stop, ideal for replenishing forces and provisioning. Its development has historically been linked to its status as a crossroads of roads, offering a good range of services such as bars, shops, and accommodations. Although it does not stand out for monumental heritage, its value lies in its hospitality and its role as a support point in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the route. It is a practical place to stop on the way, rest, and prepare for the next stages that venture into the heart of Asturian mountains.
