The Bujilices "Tumbao" Oak, located in Ucieda (Ruente) within the Saja-Besaya Natural Park, is one of Cantabria's most unique and magical trees.
The tree fell under the weight of snow and wind at the end of the 19th century, but it didn't die. Four vertical branches sprouted from the fallen trunk, developing as if they were independent trees, creating a unique and spectacular shape.

This specimen of cajiga cataloged as a singular tree of Cantabria, has a curious story behind it. With more than 250 years old, in one winter the wind and snow knocked it down but without giving up and showing the strength of nature, it has given root to 4 new trees from its trunk already fallen on the ground .
