Borres

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.

Still near Tineo, following the way, we find Santa María la Real de Obona Monastery. This outstanding centre is thought to have been founded in the 8th century and had its golden years during the 13th and 14th centuries as a result of the order of Alfonso IX, compelling the Way to Compostela pass here.
The monastery went then through different troubles, getting worse during the secularization in 1835, being reduced to San Antolín de Obona parish church.
