Liérganes
A stone-built old village on the Miera River, known for its 17th-century stone bridge and the legend of the Lierganes Fish-Man. It is surrounded by hot spring spas.
Lierganes is a village with protected historic character in Cantabria. Beside the river, a 16th-century stone bridge and noble mansions with heraldic crests make a picturesque scene. Next to the bridge stands a statue of the legendary Lierganes Fish-Man. According to the story, a young man who fell into the sea in the 17th century lived in the ocean for many years before being caught by fishermen. There is a thermal spa hotel in the village, and you can climb up behind it to Monte Mario for views. It is about 25 km from Santander and can be combined with a visit to Cabezón on the same day.
