Santa Engracia Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

Very interesting ruins, it seems incredible that up to 3,600 soldiers will live here. They had to freeze!

Pancorbo Caves

Highlight • Cave

Top close to the previous one, also very accessible and also with impressive views. The name is curious, since on a nearby path are the caves themselves.

Just above the town of Pancorbo is its old castle which is now in ruins. The path that goes through it crosses what used to be its walls and where the views that fall to the aforementioned town are spectacular.

- NOTE: this is one of the very rare routes that I especially recommend. Short, comfortable and a joy of views.

- I did this route exactly a month ago and I loved it (2 mailboxes, a ruined castle, 5 caves, 360 degree view), and this time I repeated it accompanied, and again I loved it. I recommend it!
