Embalse de Salime

Die Capilla de Santa Marina de Buspol ist die einzige Sehenswürdigkeit in Buspol. Das Wetter hier ist oft in einen regnerischen Nebel gehüllt, der die Sicht auf den Embalse (Stausee) unten verdeckt.

Hinweis

An der scharfen Kurve in Buspol verlässt der Camino schließlich die Straße zugunsten eines Bergpfads.

Hinweis: Es geht fast ausschließlich bergab bis zur Staumauer des Stausees, ein Abstieg von über 750m und oft sehr steil. Außerdem kreuzt der Weg mehrere andere Bergpfade, achte also genau auf die Pfeile und vermeide die Versuchung, die Serpentinen abzukürzen.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

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!

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.
