Tips from the Community
The Plaza de España in Reinosa is, like in so many others, a meeting place and a venue for celebrations. Don't miss visiting it and, if you have time, relaxing on one of its terraces trying some of the local tapas.

A very charming place if the reservoir has plenty of water.

Officially, it's the source of the Ebro River, in Fontibre. However, according to what we were told at the tourist office, the waters of the spring pools come underground from the Hijar River, which rises in Alto Campoo. Specifically, in Tresmares, where the Hijar-Ebro begins, flowing into the Mediterranean; the Pisuerga (a tributary of the Duero) flows into the Atlantic; and the Nansa flows into the Cantabrian Sea.

Corconte is a nucleus of the Cantabrian municipality of Campoo de Yuso. The town is known for its water, known as "Concorte water", which is bottled at the nearby Concorte spa. It is one of the towns located on the shore of the Ebro reservoir, and is home to the Ebro Reservoir Interpretation Center. Regarding its heritage, the church of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias stands out. The building is built of ashlar, from the 17th-18th centuries, with a baroque tower at the foot of the temple. Also worth highlighting is the fountain and public laundry, located on the ground floor of the Council House. Originally the spring emerged in that same place, and hence its location, although currently the source is connected to the supply network. The washing basin has a rectangular plan and is built of ashlar.
