Information
If we compare this stage with the previous day, this one will be a piece of cake. It is a short stage, although intense due to the continuous downhill and the existence of especially complicated areas in rainy seasons. We will leave La Mesa and head towards the Salime reservoir, bathed by the waters of the river Navia, and we will cross the dam to start an ascending route until we reach Grandas de Salime, the last stretch of the Primitive Wayin Asturias.
This stage is part of the The Primitive Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Primitive Way from Oviedo to Lugo and Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela.
A short stage but a demanding descent: 760 metres down to the reservoir. Through chestnut groves and lush woodland, with astonishing views, you reach the impressive presa de Salime; don't miss the hanging viewpoint of the Boca de la Ballena, perched over its 128-metre wall. After crossing the reservoir, one last wooded path drops you in Grandas de Salime. Watch your footing if it rains.
