Wise Pilgrim APPAt first sight there appears to be little of note in the tiny village of Doriga -- a church and a bar face each other across the road. But a few meters east (turn right at the church) stands the Palacio de Doriga, an impressive manor whose earliest section, the tower, dates to the 14th century. It's private property, but you can walk up to the gate and admire the garden and facade from a respectful distance. The setting, with the Rio Narcea nearby, gives the palace an elegance that catches you off guard in a hamlet this small.
Shortly beyond Doriga, the camino passes under the highway and on the other side it meets up with the alternate route that went through Cabruñana. Be mindful not to walk the wrong way back up to Cabruñana. The camino turns left sharply onto a narrow trail and descends to the quarry/village of Las Casas del Puente.
