El Pedregal no longer offers services to passing pilgrims, but it has two notable camino landmarks. Where the camino turns right off the road, you'll pass El Humilladero, a stone cross installed in the early 18th century to mark the route. Behind it stands the Casa de la Torre o del Hospital, a 16th-century estate with a rectangular tower that once served as a pilgrim hospital. The Iglesia de Justo y Pastor, the parish church, dates from the same century.

The Camino:

Approximately 3.5km beyond Pedregal, the camino nears but does not enter the village of Santa Eulalia de Tineo. Turn sharply right when the camino meets the road at this point.

To reach the municipal albergue in Tineo: from the Capilla de San Roque at the park before town, follow the road and turn left at the first fork (towards the pool). Follow this to the first intersection and turn to the left sharply and downhill. The municipal albergue is the second building.
