<\/p>\nWe can already smell the EASTER and for weeks we have been asked about the plans in the area and in Cantabria.<\/p>\n
The region of Cantabria is a treasure in the north of Spain, as in just 60 kilometres lengthwise we go from the coast to the high mountains, up to the Picos de Europa, with a diversity of landscapes that all our visitors like so much, as well as the wide range of tourist resources (nature, cultural, leisure, etc.).<\/p>\n
The first and most important thing to do is to draw up an outline of the plans to be made during these days, always, of course, leaving time for improvisation, although the large number of tourists and journeys means that this is often complicated.<\/p>\n
Of course, we always advise you to know in depth the Pasiegos Valleys known as \u00abTHE SECRET OF CANTABRIA\u00bb and the surroundings of the Spa of Puente Viesgo, known as \u00abTHE LITTLE SWITZERLAND\u00bb.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First of all, it is necessary to book the Spa Treatments and Services, in order to be able to choose the times that best suit our tastes, as the capacity is limited both in the Water Temple and in the Cantabrian Circuit, as well as the treatments, all of which are subject to availability. Our THERMAL CHARTER<\/a> is wide-ranging and meets all wellness and health needs, both individually and as a couple.<\/p>\n Secondly, to think about the tourist resources we are interested in visiting and enjoying. Puente Viesgo's location next to the main roads and in the centre of the region facilitates this task of getting to know and visiting the chosen destinations in Cantabria.<\/p>\n Next to the Spa we can find the VIA VERDE DEL PAS<\/a> or better known as the cycle path, a 41 km route of an old railway that linked the coastal village of El Astillero with the famous Pasiego village of Alceda. This greenway stands out for its spectacular scenery, bordering the River Pas, with very little slope and that allows you to enjoy both the relaxation of a walk and the sport of running, cycling, .... and there is a bicycle rental company on the greenway itself. PAS BICYCLES<\/a>\u00a0 which offers classic or electric bicycles and it is advisable to book in advance.<\/p>\n Very close to this spa and within the Via Verde, the most important is the FISHERMEN'S PATH of the PAS<\/strong>, This is one of the main fishing grounds for Atlantic salmon in Spain. This path is about 800 metres from the spa, on the greenway, crossing the wooden footbridge that runs along the left bank of the river. This path should be taken with caution ensuring that footwear has a good grip.<\/p>\n The main tourist and artistic resource of Puente Viesgo is the Monte Castillo Rock Cave Complex<\/strong>, It stands out on the international scene as four of them have been declared World Heritage Sites by Unesco, being an international reference point and where there is the highest concentration of World Heritage caves of such high quality.<\/p>\n The caves are: El Castillo, Las Monedas, Las Chimeneas and La Pasiega, and it is possible to visit both the Cave of the Castle and of the Coins<\/a>, Of course, reservations must be made in advance, as there is a limited number of seats available.<\/p>\n Two years ago, the ALBERTO DE MONACO ROCK ART CENTRE,\u00a0 <\/strong>known as the C.A.R., where the visitor reception centre is located and where you can enjoy the permanent exhibition on Rock Art from 9:00 to 18:00 from Tuesday to Saturday with guided tours at 10:00, 11:30, 15:00 and 16:30 and on Sundays from 9:00 to 14:30 with guided tours at 11:00 and 12:30.<\/p>\n The visit to the Cueva del Castillo or Cueva de las Monedas lasts 50 minutes, (in each cave there are more than 200 steps, so visitors with mobility problems should take this into account) and should arrive 40 minutes before the visit, and it is necessary to book well in advance as the capacity for each visit is 7 people.<\/p>\n Tickets can be booked on site at Caves of Cantabria website<\/a>, The booking centre 942.59.84.25 advises the latter where they will give full information on the available timetables.<\/p>\n The Public Relations Department also handles the booking of the same.<\/p>\n We always like to highlight the ethnographic heritage of the Pasiegos Valleys, highlighting the gastronomic resources, such as;<\/p>\n Discover the figure of the BREEDMOTHERS<\/strong> and the role they played in the Spanish royalty and high bourgeoisie and their petty MUSEUM OF THE HOUSEWIVES<\/strong><\/a> in Selaya.<\/p>\n And while you are there, you can taste the best sobaos and quesadas pasiegas.<\/p>\n At JOSELIN SOBAOS<\/strong><\/a> discover the origin of the typical Sobao Pasiego, our gastronomic product par excellence, and where they have the only Sobao Museum or a Sobao Workshop, in which for 2 hours you can learn how to prepare this gastronomic product from the professionals of this brand, which are held from Thursday to Sunday. It is important to note that capacity is limited and it is necessary to book in advance.<\/p>\n A nod to our highest quality cheesemakers, and there are many of them, with national and international awards, such as\u00a0LA JARRADILLA CHEESE FACTORY<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 and even closer to the Spa, there is the TRES VALLES PASIEGOS CHEESE FACTORY. <\/a><\/p>\n![\"Cantabrian](\"https:\/\/balneariodepuenteviesgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Fotos-Circuito-Cantabro-v2-25-300x200.jpg\")

And of course the well-known
