Embalse de Salime

Capilla de Santa Marina de Buspol er det eneste bemærkelsesværdige i Buspol. Vejret her er ofte indhyllet i en regnfuld tåge, som skjuler udsigten til embalse (reservoiret) nedenfor.

Notice

I det skarpe vejsving i Buspol forlader caminoen endelig landevejen til fordel for en bjergsti.

BEMÆRK: Det er næsten udelukkende ned ad bakke til dæmningen ved reservoiret, en nedstigning på over 750 meter og ofte meget stejl. Desuden krydser stien flere andre bjergstier, så se godt efter pilene, og undgå fristelsen til at skyde genvej over bakkerne.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

After Buspol and the stone wall ends, you’re on a mountain track/forestry road that switchbacks down the mountain. However most of the trees have gone - a forest fire in 2017 perhaps - so there is no shade for most of the day. However, once you pass a large stone outcrop that provides decent shade you’re about 100m from a very nice shaded walk to the dam.

The first overlook, through a metal gate on the right side of the road, is worth visiting for a view of the incredible hydroelectric structure, and the remains of the construction village on the opposite bank. The dam architecture is very 50’s modernism. Look back at the viewing platform when you’re standing on the dam. You can almost imagine it’s a flying saucer embedded in the rock!

Camino de Sant…

Head out of the ruins in Buspol by following the stone wall. At the end of the wall is a gate. If it’s closed, go through the gate and circumnavigate the grazing cows, missing their cow patties as you step. A Camino marker will show you the way from there.
