Every year on June 25th, a pilgrimage is held from Yebra de Basa, followed by traditional dances and a mass at the hermitage.

• There is very little shade from the Cruz de Basarán until you reach Yebra de Basa. Keep this in mind to carry enough water and sun protection in summer.

• If you encounter any livestock gates or electric fences, leave them exactly as you found them.
