Quiet, fully cyclable path that goes from Astillero to Ontaneda along the old train track. Highly recommended

Cabárceno Nature Park is a unique space in Cantabria, not a conventional zoo, built on a former iron mine. Within its 750 hectares, the animals live in semi-freedom in large natural enclosures. You can explore the park in your own car, on foot, or by cable car to see more than 120 species of animals, such as elephants, bears, and gorillas, in an environment very similar to their natural habitat.

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❤️)

The Pozos de Noja, known for its two artificial lagoons, the result of the industrial legacy of the old electricity company in the area, are proud to present their latest tourist innovation: a swing and a giant bench, unique spots for contemplating the landscape but also promising to be the setting for countless memories and photographs that will capture the essence of Cantabria. Access via SENDA DE TUERRA, with a bicycle path to the wells.

The skyline is certainly impressive. And I love the reproduction of the Pico LLen tower.

From Astillero it is worth getting to Santander passing through different discontinuous bike paths that almost connect to each other.

Greenway which goes along the old railway route, so there are no large slopes. A great option for all audiences.
