Overview
Pola de Siero is a small Asturian town of 12,700 residents serving as a commuter hub for Oviedo. The only compelling reason for most travelers to visit is its position on a spur of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail, where pilgrims transitioning from the coastal Camino del Norte join the inland Camino Primitivo.
