Tips from the Community
In the diary of his pilgrimage on the Way of St. James, which was published later, the German entertainer Hape (Hans-Peter) Kerkeling also writes about the meditative experience of praying the Rosary together, which he experienced himself in the “grandiose village church, which has the makings of a cathedral” of Castildelgado (Castile). Under the date June 21, 2001, he notes: “I simply must see the only tourist attraction in town! (…) She is all the more pleased that I want to see the jewel of Castildelgado and accompanies me inside. Our tour quickly ends in front of the altar, and so the woman asks me to take a seat in one of the wonderfully cool pews. Gradually, other people enter the church. The older lady begins to pray the rosary. The monotonous chanting has a calming effect, and the constantly repeating lament gives strength, security, and peace! So, after I can recite the words along with her, I join in the mantra…” (Hape Kerkeling in “I’m Off Then: My Journey on the Camino de Santiago”)

Right on the edge of the SP24, a beautiful masonry structure houses two reinforced concrete basins/washhouses, with large delivery pipes. The entire complex is practically abandoned, but very fascinating. Inside, you can still clearly see the delivery pipe system and a control panel—it's likely a tank for collecting drinking water, which was used both directly in the basins and sent to homes. From the materials and style, the structure appears to date back to the interwar period. It's in a truly infamous location, in the basin between the two opposing slopes between Salbertrand and the turnoff for Fenils, after a bend, so you have to be very careful. As you climb up, narrowing down, you can even stop to get a good look and take a few photos; as you descend, it's best to avoid it—unless, due to some extraordinary astral conjunction, the road is clear of traffic.
