The Town
Discover Castro Urdiales
Castro Urdiales is one of the most beautiful coastal villages in Cantabria and an indispensable stop on the Camino del Norte. Its spectacular port is dominated by a monumental postal ensemble: the majestic Gothic church of Santa María de la Asunción, the castle-lighthouse and a medieval bridge. The old town, known as the Old Town, preserves its medieval layout and lively atmosphere. For pilgrims, Castro Urdiales offers a vibrant final stage, with a great range of services, urban beaches like Ostende, and exquisite seafood-based cuisine. It is a perfect place to enjoy history, the sea, and social life on Cantabrian coast.
