Borres

I stayed at La Montera which is absolutely fine. A nice Albergue. But the bar up the street didn’t open until 6pm. And the food is nowadays just a bocadillo. So having had one for lunch already this wasn’t ideal. Also no breakfast as the bar doesn’t open till 11. No shop at Borres. I think it better to stay at Campiellu where there is a shop and a bar. It’s only a couple of km before.

The registration must be made at the bar, so avoid to follow the arrow that points to albergue and go straight to the bar, where the registration and payment is made, so you can head back to albergue; the conservation is bellow the acceptable standards, the mattress in the beds are in bad condition, the pillows are not as good; there’s no mattress sheets (Savana’s) supplied during registration; and you are charged 9€ anyway; it’s listed as 20 beds, but one of the beds has three layers, with makes unsafe to use this higher bed; none of them has ladders or body rails; the albergue is making money I have stay with other 19 pilgrims at 22/05/2026, I’ll find out a way to make a complain to an Asturias authority to audit how the pilgrims money is being used, to conserve the albergue it is not.

Many said Bodenaya is the best. I didn’t have the chance to stay there because it was closed on Saturdays. But I found by worth of mouth Casa Pascual. Silvia who runs the place has also walked the Camino so she knows exactly what a pilgrim would need. Everyone eats dinner and breakfast together and it’s the best Camino experience! It’s donativo, but I can say it’s better than any private albergues. The experience is priceless.

Nice bistro bar, great food on the Pilgrim's menu & plenty left to take as picnic next day. €12 includes wine.

Has both a restaurant for passing pilgrims and a two star hotel. Very good menu! Also, there is a little grocery/basics shop linked to it where you can supply any essentials needed for the remainder of the hospitals route.

A comfortable albergue ensures a good night’s rest, a kind host and hostess are the plus, Isabel fold clothes for us, making sure they were dried and let me use their charger, I left mine in the morning; in addition, it was next to the Bar, where you can have a simple and filling menu, what else is there a pilgrim would need? Thank you!

No food but has a nice kitchen, near bar.
