The peak of the Peñas Blancas, a 450m high mountain south of Santander, a few kilometers from the coast. Two paths lead to the summit (only one is listed in Komoot), both of which are only a bit difficult for the last few meters. The summit offers good views over the Bay of Santander, Santander itself and the Atlantic Ocean to the north, while the Cordillera Cantábrica can be seen in the other directions, and the Picos de Europa on the western horizon.

In the middle of the Peña Cabarga massif is perhaps the most popular peak in the park, Peñas Blancas offers amazing views in all directions. From its 455 masl you have no obstacles ahead, wherever you look.

The skyline is certainly impressive. And I love the reproduction of the Pico LLen tower.
