The highlight of this route is the historic value of the
roman road located at the Collado de Somahoz, which
used to communicate coastal Cantabria with Herrera de
Pisuerga, the old Pisoraca.
We set off from Bárcena Mayor going through the streets
of the medieval centre, declared an Historical Artistic town
by UNESCO in 1979. After crossing the river Argoza we go
up to the left, towards the ermita del Carmen.
In the first stage of the ascent we can observe a hundred
year old chesnuts and oak trees. The mixed surrounding
forest is a mixture of ash, oak, birch and hazel. Leaving the
chapel behind, the oaks (Quercus pyrenaica) and some
examples of strawberry trees seem to draw a
Mediterranean landscape, which contrasts with the beech
tree forest from the east bank of the river Queriendo.
Going through a Monterrey/Insignis pine plantation, we
will soon reach a group of buildings in ruins, known as
“Casas de Avellanedo”, which had a lot to do with the
comings and goings of the path in past times. The
vegetation has changed, and is now dominated by beech,
hazel and holly. The way, rather faded, has now turned into
a path which still has, in some places, the original cobbled
road.
Afterwards we reach the remains of an old inn, Mobejo,
currently used as a livestock farm. Further on we access a
forest track that runs through a beech tree forest, with lines
of holly and hazel.
Exiting the forest, in Ozcaba, there is a high mountain
pasture, with two big fountains used as livestock troughs
during the last month of spring and a good part of the
summer.
