Allande

The religious architecture is represented by San Andrés Church, from the 16th century and then restored on many occasions.
Leaving Pola de Allande, we find Peñaseita and El Palo (1.146 m) with wonderful landscapes, including the remains of old auriferous exploitations.
The Way goes on through Montefurado, crossing the Hospital route, where there were a pilgrim’s hospital years ago. A carving of the Apostle is still preserved in its chapel.

Leaving from Borres, we find Samblismo, La Mortera, Colines, Porciles, Lavadoira… and we get to Pola de Allande.
Leaving from La Mortera, where the Pazo dos Maldonado and St Pascual Chapel stand, you can go through the Hospital route in a version that leads the pilgrim through Fonfaraón and Valparaíso (old hostels in the Way) to Montefurado. You should not forget Pola de Allande either, a present passage of the Way to Compostela.
