The "Camino del Salvador" or Way of the Savior, is a less known and less travelled "camino de Santiago" that joins the Camino Francés in Leon and the "Camino Primitivo" and "Camino de la Costa" in Oviedo.
Numerous devout pilgrims from the Middle Ages made a detour to visit the Cathedral of San Salvador and its relics. As an old saying goes: “Quien va a Santiago y no va al Salvador, honra al criado y deja al Señor”, which translates as “Whoever goes to Santiago and does not go to our savior, honors the servant and leaves (behind) the Lord”
It is considered one of the most spectacular roads at a landscape level and the Buiza-Pajares stage is considered by many to be the best stage of ALL the roads to Santiago...
with the Pajares-Pola de Lena stage not far behind...
The road is not very long, with a distance of 121km, which can be done in 5 days, or more comfortably, in 6 or 7 days...
But it is a complex and high difficulty route. The terrain involves numerous ups and downs almost every day and
it is also mandatory to carry food for several days, since the most towns with albergues do not have all the services...
Here is a day by day account, which includes all the albergues...
Any questions or comments, you know what... :)
