Coming from the Tablao, a little walk. It does not have a mailbox, but it does have a geodesic vertex.

German-made locomotive that entered service in 1913 to transport iron ores and limestone from the Camargo mines to its factory. It is located on the greenway, near the train station, converted into an exhibition hall and tourist information office.

One of the most accessible cycling greenways in Cantabria. It runs through the Valles Pasiegos crossing the emblematic Puente Viesgo. It is a very rich route, covering places such as the Collegiate Church of Santa Cruz in Socobio, the Church of the Assumption in Acereda, the Monastery of Nuestra Señora Del Soto in Iruz or the Spa and Town Hall of Puente Viesgo or the Historical-Artistic Complex of Alceda among others.

The old Santander-Ontaneda railway had an important stop in Puente Viesgo. Once its route disappeared, it was recovered as a place for walks and a bike path. From the spa, a straight path begins that takes you first to the old train station, a curious railway construction that can only be seen from the outside, and you arrive at the place where the "La Reyerta" locomotive recalls past times. Built in Munich in 1912, its machinery has been taken care of and restored, now on one side of the old track that it used. You can go up and feel like a driver or take pictures.
