Pola de Lena

From Cangas del Narcea we moved on to Santa Cristina de Lena, staying at the hotel there, 200mts from the car park for the church path. On our first day we followed the yellow arrows to walk on the Camino de Salvador into Pola de Lena. We walked down from the hotel, past the little parking area to the bridge. Here we picked up the arrows which turned us up an ancient path. This went steeply uphill to pass the church of Santa Cristina and then down again to eventually cross the river before entering Pola de Lena. All the turns were very well marked, especially the river bridge.

After lunch we took a taxi rather than walking back as we intended to visit the church in the afternoon. However the heat made us change our minds so we drove instead to Puerto de Pajaro leaving the church for next morning.
