Wise Pilgrim APPValdepares is mostly empty these days — most homes are seasonal. At the church, the camino turns left to cross the N-634, but a right turn instead leads to a coastal path toward the Castro y Mirador de Cabo Blanco — the remains of a Celtic castro on the headland. It's the long way around to Porcía (4.1 km), but the headland views and beach access make it worthwhile if you have the time.
From the church in Valdepares, where the camino turns left to cross over the N-634, it is possible instead to turn right and follow a coastal path in the direction of the ‘Castro y Mirador de Cabo Blanco.’ This path is certainly the long way around to Porcía (4.1km), but it does follow the headlands (with beach) and the views are magnificent.
