Scenic view of Porciles on the Camino del Norte

Camino del Norte App

Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino del Norte app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

Two friendly bars, one at the beginning and one at the end of town. Both have a stamp. The second closes on Sunday evenings and Saturdays.

Food at Bar San Roque

For 7 years I happily stopped there. Cafe con leche and tortilla made for a fine breakfast combined with the atmosphere of a neighborhood shop. Always affordable and the friendly lady did everything for us pilgrims. A must-go on the Camino.
She apparently is no longer there. No tortilla, no ham. I drank 2 small cafe con leches and ate a cheese and tomato sandwich. The old man had nothing else. 9 euros was the bill. Steep. The most expensive breakfast ever in Spain. No go.

Two stamp town

Get your credential stamped twice in this village. Both bars are worth stopping at for a quick fuel up. There’s a reason Tineo to Borres is considered easy but Tineo to Pola de Allande is considered Difficult. The section from Porciles makes the difference, coming at the end of the day after you’re already tired, it has some steep muddy ascents and challenging descents. Check your water.
