After a beautiful gravel climb, you reach this plateau with stunning views (including the Picos de Europa in the distance). The path then continues for a long time at altitude, with many cows and horses. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEcgF17RDw

The Bujilices "Tumbao" Oak, located in Ucieda (Ruente) within the Saja-Besaya Natural Park, is one of Cantabria's most unique and magical trees. The tree fell under the weight of snow and wind at the end of the 19th century, but it didn't die. Four vertical branches sprouted from the fallen trunk, developing as if they were independent trees, creating a unique and spectacular shape.

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.
