Great Via Verde with many highlights

The Roman road known as Calzada de los Blendios connected Pisoraca (Herrera de Pisuerga, in Palencia) and Portus Blendium (Suances, in Cantabria). It was the main means of communication between the Castilian plateau and the Cantabrian coast. It runs through a mountain area and is covered by oak, chestnut and beech groves.

The church of San Jorge, popularly known as El Partenón, is a few meters from the Palacio de los Hornillos. Built in 1890 as a chapel near his palace, it was donated by the dukes to the town of Las Fraguas to serve as a parish church. It was used during the Civil War as a prison. It is a purely neoclassical building.

The Palacio de los Hornillos or Palacio de las Fraguas is a large estate in which two palaces are located. The oldest called Casona de las Fraguas (from the 18th century) and the largest of both, called de los Hornillos (late 19th century). It has been the setting for several movies. The Palace of the Hornillos is a private property, owned by the Duke of San Carlos, and cannot be visited. La Casona de las Fraguas is currently a catering business that organizes banquets and celebrations.

It is considered the main Roman city that existed in ancient Cantabria. It has an exhibition area where the most significant objects recovered during the archaeological excavations of this Roman city and other sites in Cantabria are exhibited, explaining all of them within their historical context. You can take a guided tour of the site.

The Tower of the Church of San Roque, popularly known as the Cathedral of the Fish, rises above the waters of the Ebro reservoir. With the construction of the reservoir, between 1921 and 1945, towns in the region, such as Medianedo, La Magdalena and Quintanilla, disappeared under its waters. A must visit for everyone visiting the area - the place is super nice and quiet.

If you are going to visit the area, the ornithological center is the first obligatory stop. It can guide you about the most interesting things around the reservoir. They tell you about the birds that populate the Ebro Reservoir and where you can observe them (more than 70 species of waterfowl). They offer you two different routes. Each itinerary will be interpreted by the Center's specialized guide service.
