Itinerary description
Camino Primitivo Stage 2. Grado - Salas
Day 2 of the Primitivo! I started around 7.30 with walking and soon found some other pilgrims that were also already on their way. It was really nice to walk and hear the sounds of an awakening countryside surrounding me.
The first part was an ascend of around 300 meters, after which the route was going slightly up and down. Cornellana, with its impressive monastery 'Monasterio de San Salvador de Cornellana', was a nice place for a break and a pincho. A large part of the route was shaded and led along small paths in the forest and car-free roads.
Our little girl joined me at the 'merendero Fuente de Santiago'. Merendero's are picknick places with a few wooden benches and in this case, a fountain with potable water.
The destination of today, Salas, is a nice village with a medieval center. The oldest parts are the remainders of a pilgrim hospital from the beginning of the 15th century. There's a couple of bars around the Arch, perfect for a Menu del Dia!
