The viewpoint itself is a bit disappointing, I thought it would have better views. From a distance it looks like a cliff but what you see is green plain. You need binoculars and not too much fog to be able to see Somo beach on the horizon. It's worth going for the swing and the giant bench (without underestimating all the characteristic green of Cantabria❤️)

Smaller than their "superior" namesakes, but perhaps more charming than them.

Lower well of the two so-called Pozos de Noja, which were artificial pools from the old Electra Pasiega. It contains much less water than its brother, the upper well, but it has beautiful views of the bay and on its side are some ruins of a cabin and you can cross to the other side through its old retaining wall that is still standing.

A small viewpoint located on a platform (although the explanatory sign for the views makes it almost difficult to see anything). Located on one side of the upper Well of the so-called Pozos de Noja, artificial pools of the remains of the now non-existent Electra Pasiega. From this viewpoint you can see the Pozo Inferior, which is smaller, and spectacular views of the mountains that are around it (such as the spectacular Enguinzas) and a beautiful view of the coast.
