The best running trails around Los Corrales De Buelna

El Torreón de Cartes is a medieval tower house from the 15th century, built by the Manrique family, counts of Castañeda and marquises of Aguilar, as part of a defensive fortress in the heart of the Camino Real, the main street of the historic center of Cartes.

Quiet place, interesting views.

The Redondo River makes a few waterfalls along the route (about 11 if I'm not mistaken), some of which are truly beautiful and in an enviable location.

The medieval Torreón de Cartes is located on Calle Camino Real, made up of two medieval towers, Gothic in style and linked by arches that cross the main street and declared a historic-artistic complex in 1985, apart from being a popular symbol widely used by area. They are the remains of an old fortress built by the Manrique family in the 15th century to defend themselves against the nearby lords of La Vega (present-day Torrelavega), begun in 1421. In 1432 it became the headquarters of justice for the Toranzo valley , doing the functions of audience and prison; Later it would also be the residence of the county corregidor.

The spa is located in Las Caldas de Besaya, which belongs to Los Corrales de Buelna, and this name is thanks to the spring of thermal waters that flows nearby, already known since Roman times (warm waters). On November 15, 1753, the old "Wool Road" or "Flour Road" that ran through this point and along the Besaya, achieved the rank of "Royal Road", notably improving the transport conditions of Castilian products destined for our coastal ports, for export overseas. The building is located next to the train stop across the old donkey-back bridge. Years later, the main road passed by, and all of this contributed to facilitating the communications of the Spa, although currently they are all out of use, but this has not caused the number of travelers to decrease and they remain very popular. The spa was built in the mid-19th century next to the hotel, the inn, and the casino, which was formerly an annex building. Today it is restored, being considered the oldest in the region and continues to receive those who wish to benefit from its mineral-medicinal waters.

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.

The Monte Brazo refuge is a beautiful private refuge that belongs to the Orza Mountain Group, and is located on a small plain called Campo de La Cruz, dividing municipalities, at the foot of Cueto Moroso.

The refuge, the stone monolith and the pastures that surround it are very cool. Perfect for a stop on the way.
