En lille og kompakt by med en stor strand, og en af de få byer langs vejen, der er bygget på et terræn, der er så stejlt, at der er installeret elevatorer for at hjælpe folk med at komme op og ned. Ermita de San Roque, på bjergskråningen, ligger langs caminoen, når du kommer ned til Deba.

Der er mange arkitektoniske perler her, flere end du ville forvente af en by af denne størrelse. Iglesia de parroquial de Santa María og Santuario de Icíar er de oplagte, men nogle kommunale bygninger og selv broen ud af byen fortjener et andet blik.

Notice

Vink farvel til havet. Der er præcis 80 km, før det igen kommer til syne i Bilbao. Herimellem er der flere bjergrige strækninger.

Fiesta

San Roque fejres fra den 14. til den 18. august.

History

Der kommer ikke mange skibe til Deba i dag, men sådan har det ikke altid været. På grund af Ermita de San Roque var det engang et populært udgangspunkt for pilgrimme, der ankom til halvøen ad søvejen.

The Road

Caminoen og den alternative rute GR-121 mødes i Deba nær ermitaen. Caminoen krydser floden ad en gangbro nær togstationen og drejer til højre på den modsatte bred. Et kort stykke senere krydser den vejen, og lige efter den drejer den til venstre og går opad igen ad en kombination af velafmærkede veje og stier.

Hold dig til den afmærkede camino på dette tidspunkt, og ignorer alle andre stier, indtil du når Galbario Ermita.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

Most restaurants are closed in Deba on Thursdays per our pension owner

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

Albergue seems to be operating normally. To get a bed for 5€, you have to go to the tourist office between 12-2, 4-6, or checkin at the albergue from 6 onward. No way to get a bed between 2-4. The streets are well marked to get to the tourist office. Once you pay, they will give you a code to get in the albergue. Hospitalero arrived later in the afternoon/evening. Not good places to dry clothes. A little noisy at night so ear plugs are a good idea.

Camino de Sant…

In late march 2022 the only albergue is closed so you need to book a perfectly lovely but more expensive hotel Zumardi. Don’t chance this town - a fellow caminoer hadnt planned anything then had to sleep on a tennis court because the hotal was full. Currently the footbridge is completely close and so adds a 1.5km detour to go over the next bridge on your way out of Deba. Bustling town centre in a Friday, and great beach.

As others have said there isn't much accommodation in Deba. The albergue is closed until 25 April 2022 (see their website) and the hotel was full. The next albergue (ibiri) was also fully prebooked (number on their website)

Most places either closed or full in Debo. I found a very nice place approx. 2.5 past Dani. "Pikua" hotel type rooms very clean not very old, 54 euro's. Right on Camino. Great ocean views.

Accommodation is very tight, and expensive in Deba. I just reserved Pension Zumardi for €90, late August. So far, the Norte is proving expensive, no doubt because we are starting it in August.
No rooms on Booking.com but there was availability on their own website.

Camino de Sant…

Albergue in the station is opened since 25 april at 50% capacity. Stayed there at 30 April

There is a lovely casa rural outside of Deba on the way that I booked on Airbnb, I believe it’s called casa Pikua. A bit pricey but gorgeous views and relaxed atmosphere.

Foot bridge near train station is closed as of May 16, 2022, 1:45PM. Take a 2km detour via alternate bridge south of Deba. There’s an elevator that takes you to the lower level of town which or knees really appreciated. Just head left on Mogel Kalea street right after you reached the bottom of the cobble road that passes the school instead of going down the stairs. The elevator is about 50 meters on your right.
