Services

Unquera sits at the Río Deva, which forms the border between Cantabria and Asturias. The crossing is marked by a bridge and a change in waymarking — in Asturias, the shell symbols are typically oriented with the hinge pointing toward Santiago, which can initially confuse pilgrims used to the Cantabrian system.

The town is known for one thing: corbatas, a puff-pastry sweet shaped like a bow tie that every bakery in town produces. Buy one for the road. Basic services available.

The Camino:

Continue straight through town along the main road parallel to the railway line. At the bridge over the Río Deva, turn right and cross the river into Asturias. On the other side arrows direct you left up the second street. From here you traverse the hillside directly into Colombres, the albergue is one of the first buildings in town.

Hotel Canal

Perfectly adequate hotel, but nothing special. Honestly, if you were worried about the distance to the next town, I suggest you push through. It is not actually the nicest stop, and it is pretty expensive for what it is.

Coffee by the river

Cafetería Pindal 1 is a nice spot to stop for a coffee, next to the river. Friendly staff. It's on the trail, right next to the bridge
