Wise Pilgrim APPSan Miguel del Río is a small Asturian village divided between upper and lower halves. No services, but the green valley setting after the mountain crossing is a pleasant contrast to the stark terrain behind you. Traditional stone houses with slate roofs line the narrow lanes.
From San Miguel, follow the signs toward Santa Marina. The village is divided, and you want the upper half — turn left at the first fork in the road where a shell marker on your right indicates you should keep on the road. Do not follow the granite marker that tells you to continue straight.
Later, after following the road to Santa Marina, the camino comes to a chapel where you need to pay close attention. The path goes through a gate that appears to lead to a private garage. On the other end of the farm are two more wooden gates, and beyond them another path covering the remaining 2 km to Llanos de Somerón. Trust the arrows — it looks wrong but it's right.
