Castroserna de Abajo: Canyon, Cliff Face and Culture

Castroserna de Abajo lies along the Río San Juan. On the 8.54-kilometre Ruta senderista por el Río San Juan, you can experience the canyon formed by the river as it passes through Castroserna de Abajo. The Ruta en BTT por el Río San Juan is a 62.4-kilometre mountain biking route that includes, among other features, the limestone gorges between Castroserna de Arriba and Castroserna de Abajo.

The two routes can be viewed as different planning options: one combines hiking with the canyon, while the other combines mountain biking with a considerably longer distance and limestone gorges. When comparing activities, you can therefore consider their type and scope separately.

Nature and Trails

Beyond Castroserna de Abajo, the Río San Juan forms an impressive sheer cliff face where a large colony of Eurasian griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) breeds. For your planning, you can treat the trail, rock formation, and wildlife observation as three separate perspectives. This makes it easier to describe your preferred mix of activity and nature observation without defining it in advance.

Culture and History

Paloteo dances take place in Castroserna de Abajo on the last weekend of September. Cueva Labrada may formerly have served as a rock hermitage; the caves surrounding it may have been used as hermitages by early medieval monks.

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios stands on the slope in the valley of the Río San Juan. The building of the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios was extended in the 19th century. On the last Sunday in September, a large romería takes place in honour of the Virgen de los Remedios.

Culture here can be viewed both through historical interpretations and through concrete references to buildings and festivals. When bringing together different interests, you can note these levels separately and then combine them into your personal plans.
