On your right as you pass through town stands the Quinta de El Pito, sometimes called the Versailles of Asturias. This palatial estate was built by two brothers — sons of the village grocer — who made their fortune in the Americas and returned to build something that would make the neighbors talk. It worked. If the property is open for visits, don't miss it — the interior and grounds justify the detour.
The Road
The camino crosses through town along the main road, past the parks on your right, and the church on your left. Shortly past the church it turns off to the left and onto a road which becomes a path and dives through the forest again. It crosses beneath the railway track near El Peñedo.
