Itinerary description
After a night with a lack of sleep due to travelling with two toddlers (one fell out of the bunkbed in the middle of the night- luckily the lowest bed and one with stomach problems, which also affected us), we started the 3rd stage: from Salas to Tineo. This led us deeper into Asturias to parts of the province that we barely know yet. A bit over 20 km, which was perfect for such a third day.
The first part started with a tough ascent of 400 meters, to the village of Bodenaya. Here you can find a really nice hostel where you can sleep as an alternative to Salas. From there, it's a bit over a km more to La Espina, where there are several bars to take a break. There's also a tienda where you can get different products from hatches; take ham, butter and a piece of bread and you can make your own bocadillo!
After Espina started a trail that went slightly up and down, through forests and with an amazing view to the left to the surrounding hills and mountains. The endpoint of today was Tineo, a small village; personally we liked Salas more. It's very nice though to have a room again for ourselves. That's something we like from the Camino so far, there's (literally and figuratively) room for all types of pilgrims, even for us :).
