The Monjardín is the peak that overlooks the town, and remnants of the 10th century Castillo de San Esteban that once protected it remain. The key to its gate can be found at Bar Ilarria in the plaza, be sure to get it before you climb up.

The Road

The 11.7km between here and Los Arcos has a tendency to pass very slowly, and there are little opportunities for shade. Stock up well with water.

Made reservation one day before. There is a little store/ bar with a restroom available at the entrance. They have coffee, cold meats, snacks and dried fruits. They open at 8-2 then 4-6 pm. Next is the church on the left and the first albergue right in front. If you go up the hill to the right is oasis trails albergue which is run by volunteers. Up the hill 30 minutes hike is a castle for those wanting to go explore. Small nice and quiet town.

There was a really nice food truck with some chairs and tables in the shade. There in early September 2022 serving food and drink including fresh orange juice if you get there early enough.

we dropped our packs off at our albergue, and, took the 30 minute hike up to the castle. The gate was open. We rang the bell, and toured the remains. Well worth the visit if you arrive in this quaint town with enough time to explore.
