Area: Cervera de Pisuerga y Aguilar de Campoo

In the north of the province, the Montaña Palentina combines forests, valleys and peaks of over 2,400 m within the Fuentes Carrionas y Fuente Cobre-Montaña Palentina Natural Park. Its best-known mountains are Curavacas and Espigüete.

Enjoy it

  • Hiking at different levels, from village-to-village walks to summit climbs.
  • Reservoirs such as Aguilar de Campoo and Camporredondo, good for walks and water sports.
  • Mountain villages with traditional architecture and good local cooking.

Cervera de Pisuerga is a good base. Always check the forecast and trail conditions, as winter conditions are demanding.
