La Braña de los Tejos is a mythical place in Cantabria. It is a forest of thousand-year-old yew trees that is very close to Collado Pasaneu, a place through which countless travelers have passed since time immemorial since it is the natural pass that connected Liébana with the coast before the construction of the gorge road from La Hermida.
To get here our route can start in Lebeña, Salarzón or San Pedro de Bedoya, the latter being the best starting point if we want to do it by bicycle. The climb is demanding and we must overcome more than 1,000 m of unevenness in 9 km, but the reward upon reaching Collado Pasaneu is tremendous. All of Liébana stretches out at our feet, Peña Ventosa and behind it Cabañes and Collado Pelea and in the background we will have the coast and the Cantabrian Sea.
From here we will only have to follow the marks and some indicative signs that lead us to La Braña, a place that is well worth a leisurely visit.
