Livet i Castro Urdiales drejer sig stadig om puebla vieja, eller den gamle landsby. Det er her, du kan udforske de mest imponerende og ældste monumenter.

Iglesia de Santa Maria ligger højt oppe. I nærheden ligger Faro y Castillo de Santa Ana, det middelalderlige Puente Romano og Ermita Santa Ana. Når du er færdig med at udforske, så skynd dig tilbage til Plaza Del Ayuntamiento for at tanke op.

Fiesta

Juni: San Juan den 24., og San Pelayo Mártir (Castro Urdiales' skytshelgen) den 26.
. Juli: La Virgen del Carmen den 16. og Santa Ana den 26.
August: Marias Himmelfart fejres den 14. august.
November: San Andrés den 30.

History

Castro Urdiales blev først bosat af romerne, som brugte stedet mere på grund af jernet end havet. Den blomstrede under kongeriget Castiliens regeringstid lige indtil 1813, hvor den franske hær ødelagde byen. Den blev hurtigt genopbygget og befæstet.

The Road

Caminoen gennem Castro Urdiales følger N-634, men det er muligt at gå langs kysten, en rute, som er meget mere naturskøn. Den kan følges helt ned til stranden, hvor man bliver nødt til at dreje tilbage mod hovedvejen. Et kort stykke senere drejer caminoen til venstre mod Plaza de Toros; det kommunale albergue ligger i denne ende af byen bag tyrefægterarenaen.

Når du har passeret Plaza de Toros (på højre hånd), kommer caminoen til en tunnel under A-8. Store skilte med CAMPING fortæller dig, at du er på rette vej. Til sidst vil du passere campingpladsen og kort efter Allendelagua.

wenn man frühs im dunkeln von der municipal herberge in castro ursales losgeht, sollte man eine taschenlampe/ kopflicht mit dabeihaben, da es eine weile einen unbeleuchteten sehr dunklen kleinen naturweg entlanggeht. ohne lampe wäre mir das zu duster und gruselig gewesen :)

Beautiful Castro Urdiales - lots of cultural sites to see. Stayed at Ardigales and very good pension with friendly staff.

Very dirty pension. But also cheap… BUT it is worth eating in the restaurant below. €16 menu.

They changed the camino from Liendo to Laredo (10km through forest instead of 6.6 on the N364)so it's not 32km anymore but 38 from Castro.
It is a change for the better - I did the blue dotted route from this app because I already had done 26, and it was quite awful. There are shoulders but it still feels dangerous and if the sun is out it's brutal.

Sorry last comment on this - when planning your route I would put Agua viva more under mioño then castro, it's much closer to it

There is a beach (well more like a little bay) a 10 min walk away heading down (ask the albergue how best to get there) that has a chiringuito with good food (the burger I had was delicious and humongous) and there's a restaurant nearby, too.

No restaurant at aqua viva, but the room is spacious and no bunk beds :)
The (indoor) swimming pool requires having a bathing suit and swim cap, otherwise can't use it.

If you take the longer older route from ontón this ends up being further as you have to turn back towards miñon. This is far-ish from the City center if you've walked all day.

Wauw, I was so happy to find this.
They are very kind. My tent was broken and they helped fixing it.
Paid 22 euro for sleeping but it's nice and calm. There 12 beds for peligrinos.
You can shower, have a drink, have a breakfast for only 6 euro.
Because the albergue is closed in Castro, this was the perfect solution.
