Hello, everyone.
View back toward Mieres in the dawn |
When we were walking through the farms, we met some of the farmers. They were very friendly and reminded us of the old saying, "He who visits Santiago and neglects to visit Oviedo, visits the servant and neglects the Master."
The actual entry into Oviedo was a gentle slope down suburban streets, passing the official albergue in Oviedo and arriving in the Cathedral square downtown.
We had reserved a room at Hostel Fidalgo, the same pension we had stayed at when we bussed to Oviedo in 2018. This time, being mid October, it was a bit chilly in the room; the lady explained to us that the heat in the building is controlled for the whole building by the overall management.
The tourism office wants everyone to know that Oviedo is the origin of the Camino de Santiago. Which it is, as Oviedo was the capital of Asturias when the bones were found. |
We paid our respects to the Sudario and the Cross of Victory from Covadonga when we went to the Cathedral to get our Salvadoranas.
The reliquary of the Sudario, the head cloth mentioned in the Gospel of John description of the apostles discovering that Jesus had been resurrected |
The credencial for the Salvador, the bottom stamp is upside down as the credencial is unfolded here and the final stamp is on a different page. |
The Salvadorana It had to be weighted down to uncurl the shape of the carrying tube. |
We took a rest day in Oviedo.
