Information
This is the queen stage of the entire Primitive Way, as it is the one that requires the most physical effort. But the difficulty is compensated by the fact that it is also one of the most beautiful. At this stage we start from Pola de Allande and we will begin to ascend until we reach the top of the Puerto del Palo, with just over a thousand meters of altitude, from where we appreciate spectacular views of the valley of the river Nisón and the nearby mountains of Lugo that indicate the proximity of the Galician territory, to end in the Asturian town of La Mesa.
A tough and magnificent stage. From Pola de Allande you face the long climb to Puerto del Palo (1,446 m), rewarded with breathtaking scenery and the scars of ancient Roman gold mining. You cross Montefurado, a slate village with its chapel of Santiago, then continue through Berducedo to La Mesa. Stock up on water before setting out: there are few fountains along the way.
