Cóbreces

Cigüenza sits in a valley between two hills with a population under 100 — which makes the 18th-century Baroque Iglesia de San Martín de Tours all the more surprising. The church was modeled after one in Lima, Peru, funded by a native of Cigüenza who made his fortune in the Americas — one of the Indianos whose returning wealth transformed villages across this coast.

A handful of large estates surrounding the church hint at similar stories.

Fiesta

San Pantaleón is celebrated on the 27th of July and San Martín on the 11th of November.

The Road

After passing the Iglesia de San Martín the camino rejoins the CA-353 into Cóbreces.
