If you are starting your camino in Oviedo be sure to leave enough time to visit the Cathedral, which is the origin of the camino itself. It is also the place to pick up your credential (pilgrim passport) which will cost you 2.5€ but will include a visit to the Camara Santa, the...
Arriving along Camino San Salvador: Shells and arrows will bring you right into the old quarters of Oviedo, passing a plaza and the beautiful Ayuntamiento building. There is talk of a new certificate which you can claim upon completion of the route, but details of where to find...

Another commercially oriented town, Mieres has all services. The albergue is located outside of town in La Peña.
Cross over the river and into town. If you are not interested in the town, and would rather breeze through it, continue straight after crossing the bridge, through the first major intersection. At the second one (with a large car park on your right) turn left.
You will pass an urban park...

There are a bar and a fountain at the top of the climb. Beneath you (by some 200m) runs the A-66.
Continue along the main road out of Olloniego, past El Cruce, and over the bridge to El Portazgo.
All of the steepest climbs are now behind you. From here to Oviedo the camino follows along gently rolling hills.
Oviedo is now visible, weather permitting, to your North.
From La Peña you begin the 5km climb to El Padrún. There are rest places along the way as the camino passes through a few small villages.

El Portazgo is little more of an outpost than a village, in fact the neoclassic building on your left once you cross over the Rio Nalón was originally the toll station where you would pay for the pleasure of doing so.
DO NOT stay on the road here, but look to the...
