Yera Station is an old railway station located in the municipality of Vega de Pas, Cantabria. It was part of the Santander-Mediterranean railway project, which was never completed. The station is abandoned and is located near the northern mouth of the Engaña Tunnel. In 2022, the Government of Cantabria approved a rehabilitation project to convert the station into a hostel, exhibition hall and restaurant, with the aim of promoting sustainable tourism in the area. This project also includes the creation of a cycle and pedestrian path to the tunnel.

The Salceda waterfall is formed in the Sotoscueva valley, in the course of the San Miguel River as it passes through the municipality of Quisicedo. It has a 30 meter drop, although in some points the slope is so gentle that it causes the water, rather than falling, to slide over the stones. It is worth leaving the path for a few meters to admire this spectacular and hidden corner.
