Yera Station is an old railway station located in the municipality of Vega de Pas, Cantabria. It was part of the Santander-Mediterranean railway project, which was never completed. The station is abandoned and is located near the northern mouth of the Engaña Tunnel. In 2022, the Government of Cantabria approved a rehabilitation project to convert the station into a hostel, exhibition hall and restaurant, with the aim of promoting sustainable tourism in the area. This project also includes the creation of a cycle and pedestrian path to the tunnel.

The route to the tunnel begins at the ruins of the Yera station, near Vega de Pas. Along the way, you can see waterfalls, Pasiegan huts and remains of old barracks used by the Republican prisoners who worked on the construction of the tunnel. It is a route of approximately 18 km, well signposted and suitable for hikers of all levels.

The Aján River waterfalls in Vega de Pas, Cantabria, are a spectacular destination for nature and hiking lovers. The route that follows the course of the Aján River offers a succession of waterfalls, stone bridges and tunnels, surrounded by lush forests and green meadows.

It is striking to find this old station, in the middle of the mountains.

Both the waterfall and the environment that surrounds it are simply wonderful. Easily accessible, this waterfall is a waterfall of about 70 meters with a natural pool at its feet. A true paradise that deserves to be visited at any time of the year, although it is recommended in spring-summer.

Another symbol of the Santander-Mediterranean railway project, in this case the ruins of the abandoned Yera station is known as the last building built before the project was completely abandoned. Nearby there are other facilities that were designed for storage and a little further from here the small neighborhood that would house the engineers and staff that was never inhabited.

One of the several tunnels of the ambitious Santander-Mediterranean railway project that planned to unite the seas crossing the entire country and that was never finished but that at least today is being reconditioned to be able to enjoy its journey through wonderful places and landscapes. The Engaña tunnel is perhaps one of the most representative and recognized, with almost 17 km in length it is a clear example of the ambition of this project that was finally abandoned and in 1999 it was closed to the public as there were landslides just over 3km from its start and it is very dangerous.

For almost 3 km, the path that runs along the Aján riverbed from Yera to the Engaña tunnel, is a parade of waterfalls and very picturesque natural pools surrounded by a wonderful environment, none of them will go unnoticed!
