ガティカのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Definitely a highlight, but unfortunately, the castle was covered in scaffolding when I visited. The castle dates back to the Middle Ages but was later almost completely rebuilt.

Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the river here to reach Plentzia

Saint Lawrence, to whom this church in Maruri-Jatabe is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was archdeacon of the Pope and was asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure to the church. Lawrence asked for three days, during which time he distributed the church assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then martyred to death, the legend says that his body was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand whether he wanted to turn him around. Saint Lawrence's memorial day in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

Cool castle, graceful as it stands there. By the way, a really beautiful hiking area.

This hermitage from the mid-19th century is a reconstruction of an older one that already existed in the place. On its lintel door you can see the wooden inscription: "Maddalen 1846", the year it was built. It has a small roof with a table and benches where you can take shelter if the rain surprises you.

Marked with a sign that says Santatoi hermitage, it is obvious that this hermitage is from modern times. In fact, it is not even half a century old, since it was inaugurated in 2003. However, a hermitage of early medieval origin did exist at this same point, although as it was in ruins it ended up collapsing.

This hermitage in the Mungiarra neighborhood of Markaida is of Romanesque origin. On Saint Michael's Day, this is where they make the pilgrimage.

This small stone hermitage is of post-medieval origin, located in the Mungiarra neighborhood of Billela.
