La Maza Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful hike on the Camino del Norte. The paths are each marked with yellow arrows or on the ground with the typical Camino shell. There are various hostels for pilgrims or possibly hotels. I chose Hotel. Overnight in Colombres in Valbanera. Hotel recommended, right on the Way of St. James. I recommend staying in San Vincente or to Unquera though. Colombres doesn't have much to offer.

San Vicente de la Barquera is one of the last Cantabrian towns before Asturias. Its old town is charming, with its houses and monuments. In fact, the center of this city has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest in Cantabria since 1987. Do not hesitate to visit the church of Santa María de los Ángeles, the castle and the remains of the walls. The Maza bridge, 600 meters long and with 28 arches, dates from the 16th century and was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs. The Parral bridge dates back to the 18th century. Its beautiful beaches attract many surfers. Tidal changes produce some impressive waves!

The old town of San Vicente de la Barquera is ideal for a trip back in time. Sometimes you can hear the bagpipes playing in the small streets. The old buildings are majestic and impressive. Next to the church, there is a viewpoint with a panoramic view of the sea and the mountains.
