In Secastilla, hiking, architectural history and wine can be considered as different focuses for a stay. A circular hike leads to the abandoned village of Bolturina, and two other trails are designated PR-HU 76 and PR-HU 77. Near Ubiergo, a walk through vineyards can be combined with a winery visit and a tasting. This raises a practical question when planning your trip: should a hike, a historic building or wine be the main focus?

Hiking trails with different destinations

The Circular por Ubiergo y Bolturina circular hike starts at the swimming pools in Secastilla. It follows a marked route along a track and leads to the abandoned village of Bolturina. Bolturina is therefore a specific destination on the loop, not just part of its name. The starting point in Secastilla and the route to the abandoned village give this hike a distinct point of reference when choosing a trail.

The PR-HU 76 starts in Secastilla, leads to Olvena and crosses the Barranco de Aspras. The PR-HU 77 runs from La Puebla de Castro via Secastilla to Puy de Cinca. After crossing the Barranco de Pallargüelo, it leads directly to Secastilla. By comparison, Olvena is the named destination of the PR-HU 76; the PR-HU 77 describes the sequence La Puebla de Castro, Secastilla and Puy de Cinca. The ravine crossed by each route also distinguishes the two trails.

The three routes thus offer different points of reference: Bolturina as the destination of a circular hike, Olvena as the destination of the PR-HU 76, and Secastilla as a stop along the PR-HU 77. When choosing a hike, you can use these place names and the ravines mentioned as guides, rather than treating the trails as interchangeable routes.

Church ruins and fortress wall

The ruins of the small Romanesque church of San Valero lie at the former settlement of Secastilla. It has a single-nave layout and a semicircular apse. “Single-nave” describes a church space with one main nave; the apse is the semicircular section at the end of the church. These features make the architectural form more tangible than simply describing it as Romanesque.

At El Castiello, a wall of conglomerate blocks survives from an old fortress. Its construction is dated to between the mid-10th and early 11th centuries and attributed to Muslims. The historical interpretation is based on the building technique and ceramic fragments. While San Valero is described as a church ruin, the wall points to an earlier fortification. Together, these architectural remains illustrate different aspects of local history and architecture.

Wine near Ubiergo

Near Ubiergo, in the municipality of Secastilla, Bodegas Obergo offers the chance to combine a walk through the vineyards with a visit to the winery and a tasting of its products. This adds another way to shape a stay alongside hiking trails and historic buildings: here, the walk through the vineyards and the winery visit form part of one experience.

If you plan to include this activity, check the current visitor arrangements in advance, as they may change. This lets you consider wine tasting as a focus in its own right, alongside a hike or an interest in architectural history.
