Canal de Castilla

From Belmonte de Campos to the Medina de Rioseco dock

What to see

This final stretch of the Canal de Castilla on the Campos branch covers 11.7 kilometers, from Belmonte de Campos to the dock of Medina de Rioseco. The route showcases an interesting succession of locks, aqueducts, and remains of old industrial infrastructure linked to the canal’s use. Although some sections present minor difficulties due to vegetation or the lack of a defined path, the route is accessible by following appropriate recommendations. The end in Medina de Rioseco, with its historic dock, constitutes one of the most emblematic points of the canal, reflecting its importance in the transport and economy of Castile.

Practical information

  • From the fifth to the seventh lock, walk along the right bank. Afterwards, you can walk on either side.
  • The initial section has paths with vegetation and some difficulties, but then it becomes more compact and ends easily
