Hiking
It was built in 1210, after the granting of jurisdiction to the town of San Vicente de la Barquera (Cantabria) by Alfonso VIII, although a more legendary origin is supposed to be in the middle of the 8th century, when the Asturian king Alfonso I carried out the first repopulation of the town.

Hiking
Beautiful hike on the Camino del Norte. The paths are each marked with yellow arrows or on the ground with the typical Camino shell. There are various hostels for pilgrims or possibly hotels. I chose Hotel. Overnight in Colombres at Hotel Valbanera. Hotel recommended, right on the Way of St. James. Alternatively I would stay in San Vincente or one village further to Unquera. Colombres doesn't have that much to offer.

Magnificent portion of the Camino, paths and small roads playing leapfrog through the hills
