Oviedo to Grado starting point

[TsafiK]

hi everybody, we walked the north rout to Gijon, and took a bus to Oviedo, where we want to start the Primitivo. Tomorrow we are starting our way to Grado. Since we had a rough day today, we want to skip walking in the the city, and start a bit more in the country. Where would you suggest we should start, take a bus or a train?

For trains, the Oviedo-Ferrol (C7) run will take you to the city limits at Las Campas station and about 15 minutes walk northward will take you to San Lazaro. The municipal bus OL will take you to San Lazaro. Either will knock about 4km of the 25km to Grado. If you're really slothful, stay on the OL for 4km more and get out at Lloriana/Loriana-- you can do penance by buying a round for the thirsty students at the next table when you get to the bar just before the bridge at Penaflor, 3km before Grado. Should you fail in this duty, you run a risk of a blister being disbursed by the Apostle.

Seems like a very useful answer! We'll try to atone for our sin as you suggested...
