Stage 1: Oviedo/Uviéu - Avilés 28,8 Kms

After visiting the Lord in the Cathedral of San Salvador, head north through streets such as El Águila, Gascona (famous for its cider houses), Foncalada (where the pre-Romanesque fountain is), etc., and walk through the city without getting lost, as there is a shell marking the way in every street.

Passing through Avenida del Mar and El Pontón de Vaqueros you leave the town and, on the left, take a local road that leads to La Estrecha and Cuyences. Half a kilometre from here, heading north, there is a path on the right that passes through La Granxa, Llaviada, La Pedrera and El Puente Cayés, over the river Nora.

In Campiello, follow a very short track that links up with the local LL-1 road, close to an industrial estate and the La Morgal aerodrome, and which leads to Posada, the capital of the Llanera council.

From here, we return to the road and, skirting the slopes of Monte de Santofirme, the route climbs up to the Alto de la Miranda, descending past the Simplicio fountain and the AS-17 road. It continues along the local LL-9 road, crossing some railway tracks and taking the path that crosses the river Villar. From here we enter the council of Corvera through the villages of La Sota and Solís.

The route then passes through Cancienes until it reaches Nubledo/Nubleo, from there to El Portazgo, where the hermitage of La Consolación is located, and after passing Los Campos the pilgrim arrives at Avilés where it joins the coastal route.
