La Mesa

After passing La Mesa (with a church from the late 17th century dedicated to St Maria Magdalene), in Buspol, where there was a hospital for pilgrims, we start to go down towards Grandas, crossing over the waterfall built in 1954 that buried the old Salime. The landscapes are amazing. In Grandas, there is a boat for crossing the waters of the Navia River.

The religious architecture is represented by San Andrés Church, from the 16th century and then restored on many occasions.
Leaving Pola de Allande, we find Peñaseita and El Palo (1.146 m) with wonderful landscapes, including the remains of old auriferous exploitations.
The Way goes on through Montefurado, crossing the Hospital route, where there were a pilgrim’s hospital years ago. A carving of the Apostle is still preserved in its chapel.
