Tineo

Tineo, a historic village nestled in the heart of Asturias' mountainous region, stands out as a fundamental stage and refuge for pilgrims traversing the demanding Primitivo Way. With deep Jacobean roots, its medieval layout and blazoned houses evoke centuries of footsteps from walkers. The pilgrim arriving at Tineo, often after long journeys, finds here an important center of services with hostels, restaurants, and all necessary amenities to replenish strength. The Church of St Peter, with its Romanesque portal, and the Palace of the Maldonado are witnesses to its noble past. The main attraction of Tineo is its authenticity and the hospitality of its people, who understand the effort of the walker. Surrounded by a landscape of green valleys and lush forests, this village not only offers physical rest but also spiritual respite. It's a strategic point on the Primitivo Way, a place to assimilate the journey made and prepare for the challenging mountain stages still ahead on the route to Lugo.
