The Camino de gran recorrido 108, GR-108, Camino Gijón-Covadonga, Camin Xixon-Cuadonga, Camin a Cuadonga, Travesía Andariega or Camin del Garrapiellu, is a long distance hiking trail in Asturias, Spain joining Gijón with Covadonga.

History

[edit]

Covadonga has been a traditional pilgrimage destination in Asturias for centuries, but the route from Gijon was not firmly recorded and signposted until the 1990s, when the society Tertulia el Garrapiellu fixed the starting point at Deva and placed numerous wooden signs and yellow arrows marking the way. [1]


Route Description

[edit]

The route starts from an old lavoir in the parish of Deva, east of Gijon, and crosses twice over the A-8 motorway before
