At the beginning of the majestic Picos de Europa, this small town is surrounded by small rivers that offer water but also bathing to the local inhabitants. In the past it was also a good place for fishing.

This is another small town not far from Guardo that you could pass through during a mountain bike route. An interesting fact that not many know is that Villalba de Guardo was classified in 2019 as the town with the highest air quality in Europe, that is, the cleanest air in Europe.

Balcony viewpoint with privileged views over the upper plain of the Carrión River. Here we can enjoy spectacular views of the towns around the Carrión route and the Palentina Mountain. From here you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

The sanctuary is a place of great significance for all the inhabitants of Saldaña and the spiritual center of the 25 towns in the region. The hermitage houses the small carving of the Virgin of the Valley and the relic of Blessed Oveco, monk of the Valcavado monastery.

Without leaving too far from the town of Saldaña, we can enjoy a walk along the banks of the Carrión River, through a riverside forest with various accesses to the riverbed, in case we feel like cooling off or taking a bath.

Charming town located in the Vega-Valdavia region. The Castle of the Counts of Saldaña stands out, whose ruins evoke its medieval past. There is also the Cueva de San Patricio and the arch of the old Hospital de la Misericordia, witnesses of its ancestral history.

Vestiges of the old fortress that defended the town. The original structure was built with limestone masonry and filled with boulders. It is speculated that the castle dates back to Visigothic times and was later occupied by Christians and Muslims during the Reconquest. Although its exact origin is uncertain, it is known that it existed from the 10th century and was possibly destroyed in 995 during a military campaign.
