On your right as you pass through town stands the Quinta de El Pito, sometimes called the Versailles of Asturias. This palatial estate was built by two brothers — sons of the village grocer — who made their fortune in the Americas and returned to build something that would make the neighbors talk. It worked. If the property is open for visits, don't miss it — the interior and grounds justify the detour.
The camino crosses through town along the main road, past the parks on your right, and the church on your left. Shortly past the church it turns off to the left and onto a road which becomes a path and dives through the forest again. It crosses beneath the railway track near El Peñedo.

Lovely town with groceries and pensions. Casa de Concha was closed, so we stayed at the pension across the street- perfect!

Hotel El Rosal in El Pito is GREAT. We loved the place and the people. Very helpful towards pilgrims. Highly recommended.

It was clean and fine but had no bar/restaurant and pool had closed mid-September- ok for price with booking discount!
But right up the street was Hotel Rosal beautiful cheese plate and beverages for early dinner! Wine ( Rioja)was excellent too!
Try it!

For us it was worth taking the diversion to Cudillero where we stayed overnight. Lovely, authentic town with lots of nice places to eat. We rejoined the Camino at El Piñedo
