Ongayo offers several specific points of interest for a stay: the Ruta Circular Ciclable de Suances, quiet paths toward Camplengo, green meadow slopes and the Los Remedios festival on July 2. The cycling route is 38 kilometres long and designed for cyclists and hikers; the paths to Camplengo are connected with the pilgrimage route to Santiago via Santillana del Mar. This brings together several different options: exercise on a circular route, a path with a link to pilgrimage, scenery and a set festival date. Which of these matters most to you can help guide your choice of travel dates and activities.

Circular route and paths linked to pilgrimage

The Ruta Circular Ciclable de Suances passes through Ongayo, covers 38 kilometres and is designed for cyclists and hikers. The distance refers to the entire circular route and helps you gauge its length. If you would like to include this circuit in your plans, you can download it online via the Wikiloc app. Online route information may be updated, so check the version of the route available there before making your plans. When choosing, the difference from the paths toward Camplengo is relevant: this is a circular route expressly designed for cyclists and hikers.

The quiet paths from Ongayo to Camplengo offer a different focus. They follow the route used by pilgrims travelling to Santiago via Santillana del Mar. Camplengo indicates the direction of the paths, while Santillana del Mar lies along the pilgrimage route toward Santiago. If you are interested in walking and in the connection with a pilgrimage route, you can consider this option alongside the Ruta Circular. This makes it possible to decide whether to focus on a circular route for cyclists and hikers or on paths linked to pilgrimage.

Meadow slopes and rest area

Gentle slopes covered with green meadows shape the landscape around Ongayo. If the scenery is also a factor in choosing your stay, this offers a distinct point of interest alongside the type of route. The circular route is designed for cyclists and hikers; the meadow slopes describe the character of the surrounding area. This lets you take your preferred activity and interest in the landscape into account separately when making your decision.

Fuente de la Churreta has been restored and developed as a leisure and rest area. Its function is another consideration when planning breaks and leisure time. If you would like the area to feature in your visit, check its current facilities in advance, as these may change.

Los Remedios as a date to plan around

The Los Remedios festival takes place in Ongayo on July 2. This is a different kind of planning consideration from a route: if you would like to include the festival in your stay, you can plan your travel dates around it. Check the date before finalising your plans. If your travel dates are still flexible, the festival offers a specific starting point; if your dates are already set, the circular route, the paths toward Camplengo and the landscape can help you identify what interests you about Ongayo.
