Is the Santa Maria del Castillo detour worth it off Camino to Obanos?

Is the detour to Santa Maria del Castillo worth it off Camino to Obanos ?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Do you mean Santa Maria de Eunate which is a short detour from Uterga to Obanos?

It's pleasant walk through the vegetable fields on the way from Uterga. Unfortunately, I got there on a Monday, and the church was closed. I was interested based on the article in Bahrami's book about the sacred numbers present in its architecture.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
