Una cittadina piccola e compatta con una grande spiaggia, e una delle poche città lungo il cammino costruita su un terreno così ripido che sono stati installati ascensori per aiutare le persone a salire e scendere. L'Ermita de San Roque, sul fianco della collina, si trova lungo il Cammino mentre si scende verso Deba.

Ci sono molti gioielli architettonici qui, più di quanto ci si possa aspettare da una città di queste dimensioni. L'Iglesia de parroquial de Santa María e il Santuario de Icíar sono quelli più evidenti, ma anche alcuni edifici municipali e persino il ponte di uscita dalla città meritano una seconda occhiata.

Attenzione

Saluta il mare. Ci vorranno esattamente 80 km prima che torni a farsi vedere a Bilbao. Tra qui e lì ci sono diversi tratti montuosi.

Festività

San Roque si celebra dal 14 al 18 agosto.

Storia

Oggigiorno non sono molte le navi che arrivano a Deba, ma non è sempre stato così. Grazie all'Ermita de San Roque, un tempo era un punto di partenza popolare per i pellegrini che arrivavano alla penisola via mare.

Il cammino

Il Cammino e il percorso alternativo GR-121 si incontrano a Deba vicino all'ermita. Il Cammino attraversa il fiume su una passerella nei pressi della stazione ferroviaria e sulla riva opposta gira a destra. Poco dopo attraversa la strada e poco dopo gira a sinistra, salendo ancora una volta lungo una combinazione di strade e sentieri ben segnalati.

A questo punto segui il Cammino segnalato, ignorando tutti gli altri sentieri fino a raggiungere la Galbario Ermita.

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.
