Stage 2 of the Camino Primitivo covers 21.9 km from Grado to Salas, with 685 m of ascent and 520 m of descent. The highest point is 361 m. Allow about 6 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.

Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (Gronze.com or Turismo Asturias) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Public albergues take no bookings and fill in order of arrival; Borres, Berducedo, O Cádavo and A Ponte Ferreira have few beds, and many private albergues close from November to March: book a private bed a day ahead from May to September.
