El Moral is a high mountain plateau which is reached by a forest track that is truly amazing. Some amazing landscapes and very close to here is the hermitage that is usually used as a refuge and a place to take a break.

A famous pasture in the region, close to a thousand meters of altitude. In the center of the braña stands the hermitage of Moral, and attached to it a small refuge. Legend has it that the Virgin appeared in this place, which led to the construction of the small sanctuary, next to the route that linked the Coast with Campoo.

Indeed, a beautiful spot with breathtaking views, both towards the Picos de Europa and other Cantabrian mountains. The (gravel) road there is also stunning; just take a look:
