Overview

This half-day tour will take you to discover two charming villages in Cantabria, Carmona and Bárcena Mayor. These inland villages are also Historic-Artistic Complex and are included in the list of the most beautiful villages in Spain.

We will travel from Santander, through the Nansa Valley until we reach the village of Carmona, where its mountain architecture, with cobblestone streets, stone houses and monuments such as the church of San Roque, falls in love with all visitors.

Next, we will head to Bárcena Mayor, located in a dreamy setting in the Saja-Besaya Natural Park. Bárcena is also famous for its typical rural architecture and traditional restaurants. Here we will take a walk through its most emblematic streets and have some free time to enjoy this environment.

What To Expect

Carmona

First we will visit the town of Carmona, which nestled in the Nansa Valley and surrounded by a stunning green landscape, will captivate you because it is a town that retains its historical essence, with cobblestone streets, stone houses, tarpaulins and gable roofs that seem to have been taken from another time. Its rich history and traditions are reflected in the mountain architecture of its iconic buildings such as the parish church of San Roque, the palace of Los Mier and other monuments.
