Borres
Small village on the Primitive Way where the route forks. Borres offers the pilgrim the choice between the historic route of the hospitals, more difficult, or the path to Pola de Allande.
Discover Borres
Borres is a humble but crucial village on the route of the Primitivo Way. This small rural settlement has become a key turning point for pilgrims. From here, the route splits into two: the historic and challenging "Route of the Hospitals", which traverses high mountain zones, deserted but breathtakingly beautiful, recommended only in good weather; and the official route that descends to Pola de Allande, longer but with more services. Borres, with its hostel and authentic mountain Asturian atmosphere, is the place to take a final breath, check the weather, and choose the adventure for the next day, marking a turning point in the experience of the oldest Camino.
