Resource access level
It is recommended to include Calle Costanilla in a walking route through Barrado, visiting the Church of San Sebastián, the Lavadero del Chorro, and other traditional corners of the village. Comfortable footwear is advisable, and visitors should respect the residential nature of the area, avoiding excessive noise and not blocking doorways or pedestrian access.
As it is a narrow and sloping street, the pavement can become slippery on rainy days, so it is necessary to walk with caution. Access by vehicle is not recommended due to the limited space and the proximity of residential buildings.
