On your right when walking through town you will find the Quinta de El Pito, known also as the Versailles of Asturias. At the time of writing this it is unknown whether the foundation that manages this palatial estate (built by the very clever sons of the local grocer) will re-open the property for guests. If it is open, do not miss the visit, it is an absolute wonder inside and out.

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.

Hotel El Rosal in El Pito is GREAT. We loved the place and the people. Very helpful towards pilgrims. Highly recommended.

It was clean and fine but had no bar/restaurant and pool had closed mid-September- ok for price with booking discount!

But right up the street was Hotel Rosal beautiful cheese plate and beverages for early dinner! Wine ( Rioja)was excellent too!

Try it!

For us it was worth taking the diversion to Cudillero where we stayed overnight. Lovely, authentic town with lots of nice places to eat. We rejoined the Camino at El Piñedo

E lPito is a charming and interesting town with beautiful buildings, a palace and an interesting church. There are two restaurants, one was open on Sunday.
