Grandas de Salime es el pueblo más grande desde Salas y ofrece suficientes bares y tiendas para ocupar tu tarde. La Iglesia de San Salvador se alza en el centro del pueblo. Hay varias casas solariegas diseminadas por el pueblo, la mayoría del siglo XVIII. La joya de la ciudad es el muy recomendable Museo Etnográfico de Grandas de Salime, que cuenta con más objetos en su colección de los que puedas llegar a ver.

Fiesta

Nuestra Señora del Carmen se celebra los días 2 y 3 de julio. San Salvador se celebra el primer fin de semana de agosto.

The Road

El camino sale de la ciudad por la Calle Carmen y pasa por la Capilla del Carmen antes de unirse a la carretera AS-28 por varias partes; saliendo y volviendo a unirse entre pueblos en su camino hasta el alto que marca la frontera entre Asturias y Galicia. Hay un albergue más en el lado asturiano de la frontera, en Castro. La primera aldea a la que llegas, la de La Farrapa, no tiene servicios para peregrinos.

La Esqina - serves vegan arepas which was delicious! They will serve vegetarian lasagna this evening.
Food is venezuelan, excellent if you are bit tired of Spanish food.
*serves dishes with meat too of course, I’m sure they are just as good*

Bar La Esquina. Newish but fantastic food, and great service. Super friendly family running it and their arepas are top notch. A nice change from the standard bar food. Also open super early for breakfast. Highly recommended.

It was one of the best place for evening drinks and having some food on our Camino. Running by super kind Venezuelian family with some traditional delicious food. Especially if you’re a little bit tired of the same food in spanish bars during week on Camino. Tequenos are must try!
Also good spot for breakfast as it works from 6 am.

No one seems to have mentioned A Reigada as a place to eat. I went there for comida (the afternoon main meal) and had their €12 menu del dia. It was delicious, one of the best I've had. And the stuff I saw going to other tables who had made different choices than I had all looked delicious, too. This wasn't your usual thin cutlet and fries fare. Highly recommended.

Please try and find the time to visit the lovely Museum in town, it is €1.50 to visit and shows the historical lifestyle of the local area. Everyone of us that visited really enjoyed it and we all stayed far longer than we thought we would. Charming, informative and a visual feast! The video and exhibits of clog making and bowl carving was super-interesting (yes - really!). Genuinely one of the best museums I’ve been to.

Fabulous wine bar and delicatessen located in the town. We ate a selection of local cheeses and meats, some craft beer and local wines, all delicious and reasonably priced. Cheerful & enthusiastic owner who helped us choose our food (three cheeses, stuffed peppers, smoked beef with pickles and crackers). Beautifully decorated and with great music, the clientele were 50% locals and 50% pilgrims when we were there. Very warm atmosphere. The best.

There is a new wine bar / cafe that has cheese, chorizo and antipasti, coffee and great wine in Main Street. They don’t have a menu - just ask them you won’t regret
