Park of the Cantabrian Stelae
Highlight • Historical Site
The Cantabrian Steles found next to the hermitage of the Virgen de la Rueda, in the town of Barros, and the two found in the Lombera neighbourhood, are displayed in a permanent exhibition next to the aforementioned hermitage in what is known as the Parque de las Estelas de Cantabria.
These are circular pieces that preserve the base pier, 0.80 metres wide, for vertical placement. The largest one (Barros II), between 2.15 and 2.46 metres in diameter and weighing 3,000 kilos, was found in fragments in 1977 between the walls of the chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Rueda de Barros and was rebuilt in 1999.
The Cantabrian stele known as Barros I, also called the Wheel of Santa Catalina or the Wheel of the Virgin, is smaller in size, but its dimensions are still spectacular: 1.75 metres in diameter and 32 centimetres thick.
Made of sandstone, easy to work, like the previous one, it has a geometric decoration.
Although interpreted by some as religious or funerary testimonies, the steles displayed in the Parque de las Estelas de Cantabria continue to offer researchers numerous questions about their functionality and chronology. There is a possibility that they may belong to the Roman period or even later. They were declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1985 and since then their image has been part of the coat of arms of Cantabria.

Las Caldas de Besaya Spa
Highlight • Structure
On November 15, 1753, the old "Wool Road" or "Flour Road" that ran through this point and along the Besaya, achieved the rank of "Royal Road", notably improving the transport conditions of Castilian products destined for our coastal ports, for export overseas. The building is located next to the train stop across the old donkey-back bridge. Years later, the main road passed by, and all of this contributed to facilitating the communications of the Spa, although currently they are all out of use, but this has not caused the number of travelers to decrease and they remain very popular.
The spa was built in the mid-19th century next to the hotel, the inn, and the casino, which was formerly an annex building. Today it is restored, being considered the oldest in the region and continues to receive those who wish to benefit from its mineral-medicinal waters.
