La vita di Castro Urdiales ruota ancora intorno alla puebla vieja, o villaggio vecchio. È qui che potrai esplorare i monumenti più imponenti e antichi.

Iglesia de Santa Maria arroccata in alto. Nelle vicinanze si trovano il Faro y Castillo de Santa Ana, il medievale Puente Romano e l'Ermita Santa Ana. Quando avrai finito di esplorare, torna alla Plaza Del Ayuntamiento per fare il pieno.

Storia

Castro Urdiales fu colonizzata prima dai Romani, che utilizzarono la località più per il ferro che per il mare. Prosperò sotto il regno di Castiglia fino al 1813, quando l'esercito francese distrusse la città. Fu rapidamente ricostruita e fortificata.

Il cammino

Il Cammino attraverso Castro Urdiales segue la N-634 ma è possibile percorrere la costa, un percorso molto più panoramico. Si può seguire fino alla spiaggia e a quel punto è necessario tornare indietro verso la strada principale. Poco dopo il Cammino gira a sinistra verso la Plaza de Toros; l'albergue comunale si trova in questa parte della città, dietro l'arena dei tori.

Dopo aver superato la Plaza de Toros (sulla destra), il Cammino arriva a un tunnel sotto la A-8; grandi cartelli con scritto CAMPING ti indicano che sei sulla strada giusta. Alla fine passerai davanti al campeggio e, poco dopo, ad 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 :)

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.
