Fuentona de Ruente Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
According to the legend at the bottom of the Fuentona de Ruente an Anjana, a good Cantabrian witch, has her home, who from time to time on a whim makes the water stop flowing. It is almost incredible to believe that for a time everything is completely dry, hence the magical answer to the power of nature.
This karst upwelling of Ruente comes out of a cave and can be seen thanks to a cobbled walk that leads to the source of the Fuentona.
Later, the mighty river that is formed passes under a characteristic bridge, with nine eyes and low in height. This is the typical picture of Ruente, the water flowing through the stone eyes and in the background the typical green that is never lacking in Cantabrian lands.
In the upwelling area there is a picnic park where you can enjoy the calm and beauty that this beautiful corner of Cantabria gives off.
In the town of Ruente you can also see the humilladero, the Nogalera house and the Palacio de Mier.
If you come from rural tourism to Cantabria, on your visit to the Saja Besaya Natural Park, don't forget this charming corner that is Ruente and its Fuentona.
