Salinas de Pisuerga Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Locality of the Palencia Mountain whose name comes, as they say, because it is located in a salty soil.
It has a parish church (San Pelayo) from the 16th century with a large bell tower.
It is worth visiting the medieval bridge that crosses the waters of the Pisuerga river, built in the 16th century.

Church of San Cornelio and San Cipriano

Highlight • Religious Site

The visit to the neighborhoods of San Pedro and Santa María is worth it for the heritage and landscapes but it has a price on the legs, you have to climb Monte de la Ruya again to connect with the main itinerary and overcome the infernal slope that We saw before the detour, which also has a trap because after a short descent there is another similar section to a hill, the prize is fantastic views of the Palentina Mountain. The road enters the meadows and mountains of La Ojeda again and there is a fun stretch, climbing the GPS average for several kilometers until Dehesa de Montejo, where the detour for the Perazancas variant comes out on the left. The route continues to the right, crosses the Cervera de Pisuerga road and climbs the slope of Peña Umoma to a hill that finally marks the entrance to the Pisuerga valley through the beautiful valley of Valdeados. The descent ends in Vado, it is noon, time for a snack but there is no bar or grocery store. Cervera is three kilometers away but it is the place where we plan to finish the stage and we decided to continue and spend the afternoon with the energy bars.

The path continues along the charming bank of the Pisuerga River, favorable terrain, river landscape, good climate and change of environment. On the route there are yellow arrows of the Camino Olvidado or Camino de la Montaña, a Camino de Santiago very popular in the 12th and 13th centuries, starting from Bilbao, running along the southern slope of the Cantabrian Mountains and connecting with the Camino Francés in El Bierzo. In Barcenilla de Pisuerga, the milestones of the Natural Trail cross the Pisuerga River via a pedestrian walkway and change course, beginning the climb through the Mudá valley until the connection with the GR-1. The climb begins in Rueda de Pisuerga, the route passes by the church of San Cristóbal, which preserves the Romanesque doorway from the 12th century, and continues through Vallespinoso de Cervera to San Cebrián de Mudá, a town with a mining tradition and the last town on the Natural Trail of the Palentine Romanesque. In the square there are some wagons from the mining era, when the Cok Coal Route was the main economic channel of the valley. The church of San Cornelio and San Cipriano is on a hill, is Romanesque from the 13th century and was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1993.

The climb to the Historical Trail passes through the European Bison Interpretation Center, runs through a mountain oak grove and ends at a small hill below the imposing Valdecebollas (2,143 m), entrance to the La Pernía valley and the upper Pisuerga. The views are stunning. The end of the stage is Cervera de Pisuerga, with accommodation, camping and complete services. The final stretch to complete a great day of gravel cycling continues through the Castillería valley and at the Estalaya crossroads, where the climb to the Verdeña Fossil Forest is, a path leaves on the left that leads to Vañes off the road. In this section it is important to have the track downloaded because there are no milestones on the route. You must continue along the road for about 500 meters towards Cervera and at the fork of the road take a detour to the left towards Rabanal de los Caballeros and Valdasornín. The rest of the way follows the road that goes down to the urban complex of Cervera de Pisuerga.

Aguilar de Campoo Dam

Highlight • Monument

From this point you can see the Aguilar de Campoo Reservoir. It is an impressive piece of engineering but it was quite controversial due to its negative consequences for the ecosystem of the area.

Aguilar Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Aguilar reservoir, inaugurated in 1964, plays a crucial role in regulating the Pisuerga River. With a height of 48 meters and a length of half a kilometer, the dam is one of the largest in the area. It is part of a set of three reservoirs and is considered a tourist attraction thanks to the "Ruta de los Pantanos".

Aguilar de Campoo Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ruins of the Castillo de Aguilar located on top of a strategic hill, watching over the beautiful biscuit town. The keep dates from the 9th and 10th centuries, while most of the walls are from the 14th and 15th centuries. Next to the Romanesque church of Santa Cecilia, on the same hill, it creates an impressive photographic image.
