Discover Antrialgo: Castillón d’Antrialgu, Chapel and Routes

West of Antrialgo, El Castillón d’Antrialgu lies on a hill 155 m above sea level. Archaeological excavations at El Castillón d’Antrialgu uncovered a defensive wall and a ditch. The ceramic material recovered at El Castillón d’Antrialgu is attributed to the Second Iron Age; medieval resettlement of the site is also documented. Two circular structures were uncovered in the inner area of El Castillón d’Antrialgu. When making your own plans, you can treat location, fortification, period and architectural form as separate points of reference. You can assign separate weights to spatial, structural and chronological aspects.

Culture

The religious chapel of Santa Marina is located in Antrialgo, within the parish of Villamayor. Religious and archaeological connections can be organised as separate cultural themes when making your own plans. For an itinerary, you can treat a religious site and an excavation site as two different cultural interests. Culture can serve as a distinct focus alongside route and activity themes; you can place the chapel or the route to Castillón at the forefront of your plans.

El Castillón d’Antrialgu can be reached on foot from Antrialgo via a path. The route to El Castillón d’Antrialgu is an old cart track with preserved stone bases along its sides. The access bridge to Antrialgo dates from the 18th century and served as a crossing on the Camín Real de Francia. For your planning, the character of the route and the age of the bridge can be considered separately. The combination of walking and historical context can be treated as a distinct focus alongside cycling and water activities.

Cycling and Water

Piloña Este is classified as an MTB route. The Piloña Este route is 32 kilometres long and has a moderate level of difficulty. As a circular route, it passes through Antrialgo. On Piloña Este, the bridge over the River Piloña is crossed in order to reach Antrialgo.

Passing through the village and crossing the river provide the circular route with two named points of reference that you can consider separately when planning.

On the Descenso del Piloña, paddlers had to tackle technically demanding sections between Villamayor and Antrialgo. For your personal itinerary, you can classify this type of activity independently of the cycling route and walking path.
