Do you need to get from Santander to Lierganes? Here's a bit more about Lierganes...

Liérganes is a magical town that consistently appears on the list of the most beautiful villages in Cantabria and Spain.

In a privileged location in the Trasmiera region, it is not far from the major urban areas of Cantabria such as Santander.

Liérganes is a small but charming village, and the surrounding nature makes it an excellent starting point to explore rural Cantabria.

One of its main attractions is the so-called Roman bridge, which is not actually Roman as it was built in 1587. From it, you can see two small peaks locally known as the “Tetas de Liérganes” (Breasts of Liérganes).

The town is closely associated with Cantabrian mythology, particularly the legend of the fish-man, whose statue you will find next to the bridge.

Liérganes is a place to get lost and enjoy tranquility. In winter, it’s common to enjoy churros with hot chocolate or the delicious local craft beer, Dougall’s.
