Easy hikes and walks around Reinosa

The Pico Tres Mares offers a great view of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The three valleys, each separated by mountain ridges, drain via their respective river systems into the Mediterranean Sea (Rio Hijar / Ebro), the Cantabrian Sea (Rio Nansa), and the Atlantic Ocean (Rio Pisuerga), from which the summit gets its name. From up here, you can also clearly see the beginning of the path to Peña Labra, which essentially runs along or near the ridge to the west - and with reasonably good visibility, the Picos de Europa are clearly visible to the northwest, standing out distinctly from the surrounding mountains of the Cordillera Cantabrica, even if some are not that much lower. There is a viewing platform at the summit - not pretty, but it allows even visitors without mountain experience to look around safely.

Here is the "official" source of the Ebro, even though it was proven about 40 years ago that only the water of the Rio Hijar, which seeps away at Paracuelles, re-emerges here. Strictly speaking, it is a karst spring. Not far below the spring, the Ebro is dammed by a small weir, creating a beautiful little pond here, which is obviously also popular with ducks. The circular path around the pond from the spring to the weir is only a few hundred meters long walk, a large visitor car park is directly above, so you don't have to make a long hike to visit - but you can, of course, also start the GR99 here and walk to the Mediterranean...

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.

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.

Interesting to visit, if you are in the area.

A few hundred from the Domus is the other part of the Roman city of Julióbriga.

It is freely visited, next to the church.
