国立公園オヤンブレ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The old town of San Vicente de la Barquera and the Maza Bridge are two of the main tourist attractions of this picturesque fishing village in Cantabria. This historic center dates back to medieval times and is located in a privileged natural setting within the Oyambre Natural Park.

Whenever I'm in this town, I come to this corner.

It looked like the beach of a lost island.

The hermitage is well maintained but best of all are the views – amazing especially if you go on a cloudless day. There is a small viewpoint from where you can see the sea, San Vicente de la Barquera and on clear days the Picos de Europa. There is a recreational area just before arriving with tables and a barbecue.

At the top of Monte Corona is the hermitage of San Esteban, a place frequented by those of us who enjoy riding along good forest tracks and ending at a viewpoint with beautiful panoramic views.

San Vicente de la Barquera is an impressive fishing village located in the heart of the Oyambre natural park. Located between two estuaries, San Vicente faces the sea. The landscape changes constantly with the tides and the sight of the boats perched on the sand at low tide is very particular. In Roman times, San Vicente was already an important port. In the Middle Ages, notable buildings such as the church of Santa María de los Ángeles were built and today the remains of the wall and the castle remain. However, the most appreciated monument is the stone bridge of La Maza, with its 28 eyes, built by order of the Catholic kings in the 16th century. From this bridge you can appreciate one of the most characteristic views of San Vicente, the contrast of the snow-capped peaks of Europe and the mouth of the estuary to the Cantabrian Sea.

Playa de Fuentes is a beautiful little bathing bay that is well protected from the wind by the cliffs and is therefore also ideal for bathing when it gets uncomfortable on wider, unprotected beaches. The bay can be reached on foot or by car, and there is also space for a few mobile homes on the pitches above the bay.
