CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
378 km from Lugo to Lugo, about 5 h 09 of riding. On the way it passes Cathedrale de Mondonedo, Routes of Santiago de Compostela: Camino F and back through Cathedrale de Mondonedo. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through. 66 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it.
Lugo is one of those cities that tells you its age before you have parked. A ring of Roman wall, two kilometres of it and still complete, circles the old town, and walking along the top is the best way to understand why UNESCO listed it. The Romans founded Lucus Augusti here at the end of the first century before Christ, drawn by hot springs on the Miño river, and the baths are still in use by the riverside. The wall's gates, rebuilt and re-cut many times, let you walk in and out of the old quarter as people have for nearly two thousand years.

Cathédral de Lugo is where the day begins. Next is Cathedrale de Mondonedo.
Mondoñedo is a small cathedral city in the north of Galicia, tucked into a green valley of the Masma river between the Cantabrian coast and the hills of the interior. With barely five thousand people it is one of the smallest places in Spain to have a cathedral, and the building is the reason the town exists. It was begun in the late twelfth century and finished over several centuries, with a Romanesque core, Gothic vaults and a Baroque west front with two towers. Inside, there are medieval wall paintings in the cloister and a fine stone choir, and the whole is built from the grey local granite, which turns green with lichen and gold in the evening sun.

Cathedrale de Mondonedo comes up 86 km in. Next is Routes of Santiago de Compostela: Camino F.
Tineo sits on a ridge in western Asturias, and for pilgrims walking the Camino Primitivo it is the place where the real mountains begin. This is the oldest of the routes to Santiago, said to have been walked by King Alfonso II in the ninth century when he went from Oviedo to the tomb of St James, and it climbs from the green hills around Oviedo into a wilder landscape of ridges and valleys that separates Asturias from Galicia. The town itself has about 11,000 people, a handsome old centre, a church and a pilgrim hostel, and the Camino passes through it on the way west.
