Where to stay in Bárcena Mayor: the best areas

In the village

Bárcena Mayor's inns and rural houses occupy stone mountain houses with wooden balconies. You park at the village entrance, as only residents can drive along its cobbled streets. Staying here lets you see the bridge over the Argoza without crowds and eat cocido montañés, the local stew, without driving.

Cabuérniga valley

Down the valley, the Cabuérniga villages, such as Valle or Terán, have more rural houses and inns, about twenty minutes away. They're the alternative if Bárcena is full.

Cabezón de la Sal

Cabezón de la Sal, half an hour away, has more services and works for combining the Saja with Cantabria's western coast.
