Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino De San Salvador app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

Welcome to Asturias. Pajares is a small village below the mountain pass, and after the crossing you've just done, even this modest place feels like civilization. There's one restaurant in town — El Mirador — which is recommended. Call the day before to give them notice: +34 636 933 069. It's closed on Tuesdays. There's no grocery shop, so if El Mirador is closed, you'll need to press on to Campomanes.
The village has a handful of accommodation options. The air is different here — wetter, greener, distinctly Asturian. You've crossed from the dry meseta into one of the greenest corners of Spain.
The only meal in town is at El Mirador. Recommended, but call the day before to give them notice: +34 636 933 069. Closed Tuesdays. No grocery in town.
Leaving Pajares, stay on the road to the village limits. The camino turns left and begins a steep descent into San Miguel del Río in the valley below. The drop is significant — take it easy on your knees.

Alberge de Pajares is the best one that I‘ve stayed. Nice host, cheap price and stunning view.
