This trail promises incredible views, weather permitting. Climb to the top of one of the most unique mountains in the area: the Sierra del Escudo de Cabuérniga. There are two view points which indicate exactly what you’re looking at: Piralba and Cantos Redondos view points. There are 360º panoramic views of: the Picos de Europa (the Peaks of Europe) and the Sierra del Cuera; the Cantabrian Mountain Range; the Valley of Cabuérniga; the Eastern mountains of Cantabria; the municipalities of Cabezón de la Sal and Mazcuerras;   and the whole coast from the limit with Asturias to close to Santander. It’s a truly amazing sight to see!

Notes:  

1. We recommend downloading the track of the route on your phone. There are areas where the signs may be difficult to see. 
2. Wear good hiking shoes and take a walking stick.    
3. You will cross areas where cattle graze. Always close gates behind you after going through. Not recommended if you have vertigo.
