Borres is the little hamlet where Primitivo pilgrims have to make the choice between taking the Hospitales route to Puente del Palo or going on to Pola de Allande and from there up to Puente del Palo on a less remote path.
Borres has an albergue, which has always been of questionable hygenic standards. The good news is that there is now a bar open in the village, apparently run by a very wonderful woman, and she has been trying to let the powers that be authorize her to clean the albergue. But in any event, even though you may not have a clean place to sleep in Borres (and I've heard varying reports), you can now eat there!
Buen camino, Laurie
