Un pueblo pequeño y compacto con una gran playa, y uno de los pocos pueblos a lo largo del camino construido en un terreno tan empinado que se han instalado ascensores para ayudar a la gente a subir y bajar. La Ermita de San Roque, en la ladera, está a lo largo del camino mientras desciende a Deba.

Hay muchas joyas arquitectónicas aquí, más de lo que cabría esperar de una ciudad de este tamaño. La Iglesia de parroquial de Santa María y el Santuario de Icíar son los obvios, pero algunos edificios municipales e incluso el puente fuera de la ciudad merecen una segunda mirada.

Notice

Adiós al mar. Pasarán exactamente 80 km antes de que vuelva a la vista en Bilbao. Entre aquí y allá hay varios tramos montañosos.

Fiesta

San Roque se celebra del 14 al 18 de agosto.

History

No muchos barcos vienen a Deba en estos días, pero no siempre ha sido así. Debido a la Ermita de San Roque, una vez fue un punto de partida popular para los peregrinos que llegaban a la península por mar.

The Road

El camino y la ruta alternativa GR-121 se encuentran en Deba, cerca de la ermita. El camino cruza el río a lo largo de una pasarela cerca de la estación de tren y en la orilla opuesta gira a la derecha. Una corta distancia más tarde cruza la carretera y poco más allá gira a la izquierda, subiendo una vez más a lo largo de una combinación de carreteras y senderos bien marcados.

Manténgase en el camino marcado en este punto, ignorando todos los demás senderos hasta llegar a la Ermita de Galbario.

The lovely Izkia (?) made us very welcome. She was helpful and informative. I turned up without a sleeping bag so it was a bit cold in mid-March.
The volunteer hosts make the best of the space they have. There is no kitchen but the Hostel is well located so easy to get food in the town just 2-3 mis away. Great location for the long trek into Markina.

Maybe before start for camino of santiago some kind of people should remain at their home. The hostels for pellegrine have simple rules' and for respect of the other pilgrims' at specific hour every one must stay in the bed for sleep. It's not an hotel. Respect the other, not make noise, speak. Sleep and respect the other..

Pilgrims are not welcome in Deba. You must be out of the alberga at 8 and they get upset with you from 7:30 if you are not hurrying. This is not helpful when you are a pilgrim and not an athlete.

The volunteers at albergue are friendly and try their best but facilities are limited and the town is not that welcoming to pilgrims even if the beach is lovely. Would recommend avoiding Deba if possible

albergue here is fine- not the best and big rooms so a little noisy. still great if you can get a room- there are a lot of beds but i think it’s usually pretty full

All supermarkets are closed on Sundays (restaurants and some bazaar are open), and all cafe/restaurants on the way to Markina are closed on Mondays, so make sure to bring a lot of snacks or groceries from town before if you’re arriving on a Sunday.

Contrary to google and guides lots of cafes and markets open Sunday morning. I arrived around 9:30 am. and had no trouble finding food and supplies.
Monday one cafe and one market open by 7:30 am

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.
