Five villages and a story that begins in the caves

Puente Viesgo is both the municipality and the name of its main town. Aés, Hijas, Las Presillas and Vargas complete the five localities. This guide distinguishes places in the town from those in the other villages.

Monte Castillo is home to caves with Paleolithic art recognised as part of a UNESCO World Heritage property. El Castillo and Las Monedas receive visitors under the conditions set by the Government of Cantabria; La Pasiega and Las Chimeneas are protected and closed to the public. Further down the valley, the Pas River and the former railway offer another way to explore the area.
