The routes we take through the Cantabrian-Palentina mountains are full of attractions: enchanting natural scenery as we travel through the Saja-Besaya and Montaña Palentina Natural Parks; lush forests and endless peaks on the horizon stretching toward the Picos de Europa; an astonishing concentration of Romanesque churches—solid and stately—some of which are dramatically situated atop the hills, amidst the solitude of an uninhabited and enchanting landscape. On our way home, we explored the Roman Villa of La Olmeda, which surprised us with its vast size and exceptional state of preservation.
Our first spring trip enveloped us in an atmosphere of rain, mist, and sunny spells that accentuated the rugged and captivating character of these lands.
