For your own planning, you can consider the type of trail, route format, length and elevation profile separately. An easy walking route, an excursion along old agricultural paths and a cycling loop do not have to be grouped into a single activity pattern. The information offers different ways to structure an excursion: a path through the village, a circular route and a route with a specified length and elevation gain each provide different points of comparison. Those combining several interests can consider the trails, cycling routes and viewpoints separately, without interpreting them as a single offering. When planning your own activities, you can consider walking routes and journeys by vehicle separately. The nature, scope and mode of transport of each route remain visible as separate criteria.

Culture and festivals

The small historic centre of Castigaleu preserves traditional architecture with stone houses. The parish church of San Martín dates from the 16th century and was built in the Gothic style. The Ermita de San Miguel, built in the Romanesque style, is also located in the historic centre. The Ermita de San Pedro Mártir stands next to the royal livestock trail. The Fiestas de San Martín in Castigaleu take place on the last weekend of September and last for three days. The Pentecost festival of Castigaleu takes place between May and June, depending on the calendar year.

The cultural points of interest can be distinguished by architectural style, location and time of year, rather than being combined into a single attraction. This allows you to give different weight to local history, trails and festival dates when planning your own activities.
