Information
Get to know Grado
The Primitive Way as it passes through the municipality of Grado has always been very important since it was the way of passage for the pilgrims who went from Oviedo to visit San Salvador.
The pilgrims were motivated by the popular saying; “Who goes to Santiago and does not go to the Savior, honors the servant and leaves the Lord”. So you had to go to honor both.
At present both the town of Grado and San Juan de Villapañada are the end of stage, each pilgrim decides where to spend the night. Both towns belong to the same municipality and are only 3 kilometers apart.
