The 10th-century Iglesia de San Salvador is one of the finest examples of Pre-Romanesque architecture in Asturias — a group of buildings so important they carry UNESCO World Heritage status collectively. The church will almost certainly be locked, but perseverance pays: a few locals hold keys, and if you ask around with enough conviction and mime the unlock gesture, someone may oblige.
The interior preserves fragments of 10th-century frescoes and the characteristic horseshoe arches of the Asturian Pre-Romanesque style. If you've been paying attention to the churches since Villaviciosa, you'll notice how this one sits in the lineage between the earlier examples in Oviedo and the later Romanesque churches further west.
In Priesca, after visiting the church, the camino leaves the CL-1 briefly along a path to the right. It rejoins the road for a short distance not far ahead, but then leaves it for the last time along a trail to the left. This trail begins a road shortly after passing under the A-8 at the start of Sebrayo.

A lovely place to stop over. They cater so that you can get food there and cook something up if you wish and the outside area is beautiful too. Its well organised. Loved it.

What a shame that no one else is enjoying this excellent Albergue with me. The ladies running this spotless house cannot do enough for me. They have things to eat you can buy and cook for yourself. The grounds are stunning and it is worth every cent of the costs €12 I spent to stay here. They also have the keys to the church next door that dates back to 1010bc. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely charming Albergue in the countryside is very welcome after a long climb. Clean and very well organised. The kitchen store is stocked with basics, wine and vegetables from the garden, so no need to carry these items for 10kms (like I did!)
Run by two lovely ladies.
