Very close to the renowned Borleña churrón is this other waterfall, not so popular but worth visiting being so close.

Palacio de Soñanes in Villacarriedo is a Baroque marvel built in the 18th century and located next to the Colegio de los Escolapios. It was ordered to be built by D. Juan Antonio Díaz de Arce y Pérez del Camino, a diplomat of Philip V who became General Intendent of Aragon, between 1718 and 1722. It has been attributed to the Italian architect Cossimo Fontanelli, although it has recently been linked to the Salamanca baroque school, with plateresque and churrigueresque influences, being ultimately assigned to the mountain architect D. Francisco La Riva Ladrón de Guevara. The palace has a quadrangular ground plan, surrounding the old Torre de los Díaz de Arce. It has three floors and a monumental staircase. The facades have great ornamental richness, with free-standing Corinthian columns on the two lower floors and pilasters on the upper one. The Solomonic and balustraded columns have fluted shafts. The openings are rectangular, almost all of them highlighted by decorated columns, and are finished off by split pediments. In the center of the intermediate floor there are wrought iron balconies. The decoration is completed with other elements, such as friezes adorned with fallen leaves or grooves, etc. Pinnacles, modillions, acroteras and gargoyles appear on the roof. There are also some heraldic shields, highlighting the one located in the center of the upper floor of the façade, with the arms of Díaz de Arce and Pérez del Camino. It has recently been restored as a hotel and restaurant Source: https://turismodecantabria.com/disfrutala/que-visitar/133-palacio-de-sonanes

The Casona de los Miera is located in Selaya and was declared an Asset of Local Interest, with the property category on November 27, 2002. This house, also known as "La Torre" was built at the beginning of the 17th century with ashlars of good quality. This architectural complex is made up of a house and a tower with an “L” floor plan. The house is two stories high and is covered with a gabled roof. The wide arcade opens onto the corralada and the street through two semicircular arches. The wrought-iron balcony has a coat of arms of the Miera, Arce, Castillo de la Concha and Ceballos families and is supported by arches that are supported by pillars without capitals, instead simple imposts appear that are combined with lowered imposts. Protected by the arcade we find some doors that give us access to the interior of the house. The tower, made entirely of ashlar masonry, is three stories high and lacks decorations except for the coat of arms located between two small openings. On the sides of the tower there are two smaller balconies, but also made of wrought iron. The roof is hipped with Arabic tiles and is topped at its corners with pinnacles.

At the foot of the leafy De Todos oak grove, in Valvanuz, this building stands on top of another primitive one, of reduced dimensions, which dates back to around the 12th century. Its extension takes place under the protection, perhaps, of Royal patronage, which justifies a coat of arms on the portico of the hermitage, dated 1682, which reads "Long live the King of Castile, patron saint of this chapel". The most important element of the temple is the wood carving of the seated virgin from the end of the 12th century; in his right hand he holds a sphere, and in his left, on his knee, the child. She appears dressed in a tunic and cloak. Currently it is shown in a silver dressing room made with the contributions of the faithful.
