Tips from the Community

October 22, 2024, Casa Palacio de los Ceballos

The Casa Palacio that the Ceballos had in Barros is today owned by Mr. Herrero and Mr. Martínez de Azcoitia. It is a beautiful mountain architectural complex with a portal between cylindrical cubes, a typical mansion and a chapel. It was restored a few years ago by the current owners who have managed to give its interior a stately and period atmosphere. It dates back to the beginning of the 18th century.

The pre-Roman stelae of Barros and Lombera stand out, as well as the manor houses that can be found in the Rasilla park area, such as the palace of the Counts of Mansilla, Bustamante and Quijano. One of the main attractions are the Cantabrian Wars festivities, which are held on the last weekend of August and the first of September, recreating the wars between the Romans and the Cantabrians.

Mountain pass very busy by all the cyclists of Cantabria. Of moderate slopes, with a slightly harder final kilometer and a small descent after completing the initial 1000 meters.

The Quintana burial mound complex is made up of 4 dolmens that were used as tombs thousands of years ago. They were discovered in 1986 and can be difficult to see but they are indicated. The surrounding landscape is very picturesque and colorful.
