Circular Eden from El Cascaro
On the way there, there are views of the sea and part of the hills, and on the way back, the mountains on the other side, set amongst the eucalyptus trees. The route is partly shaded in a few places. You can have a picnic at El Carbayin Chapel.

Departure from Salas (Asturias)
This stage is a bit shorter than the two previous stages and only has a gentle climb at the start. At the beginning, the route follows the river Nonaya and borders the Sierra de Bodenaya. After crossing the river Casandrasín, our journey takes us along the valley with the Sierra de Tineo up to our right. Plenty to see and a few villages to explore, just hope the rain stays off.

Departure from Tineo (Asturias)
The day starts with a climb even though Tineo is already perched over the Villar valley. The route takes us along the southern flank of the Pico Navariego, staying high above the valley and the road below, finally dropping down to Obona and then a fairly flat stroll all the way to Borres.

Departure from Tineo (Asturias)
This stage has two route options: the High Road or the Low Road, otherwise known as Hospitales or Pola de Allande. One deciding factor might be the weather as the higher route is quite exposed. On the other hand, the lower route means more distance (17.9 km as opposed to 15 km). The recommendation is for the Hospitales route as it appears more authentic and has less tarmac to cover.
Second Stage Camino Primitivo - Grado to Salas
13.95 mi
+2,129 ft
-1,526 ft
8h 15
Moderate
Departure from Grau / Grado (Asturias)
This stage follows the motorway and a couple of rivers. There's plenty rural scenery, some ups and downs, tracks through woods, small villages, past ancient monasteries and plenty of hórreos.
