‌Detour from Murias to Maragato village of Castrillo de los Polvazares

A 3 km detour south from Murias de Rechivaldo brings you to Castrillo de los Polvazares, the best-preserved Maragato village in the region. If you have time and interest in the Maragato culture, this is the place to see it — but it adds about 6 km round-trip to your day.

Alternatively, you can continue from Castrillo to Santa Catalina de Somoza via a marked path, which avoids backtracking. This option adds about 1.5 km to the standard route but includes the village visit.

We were certainly glad that we made this detour. The village is well worth a visit for its charm and character
