Discover Cabezón de la Sal

The town of Cabezón de la Sal is the municipal capital and its main service centre. Its history is tied to salt extraction beneath the valley. An urban walk takes in San Martín Church, La Bodega Palace, the Town Hall, the Calabozo Museum and cultural venues. The Saturday market maintains the town’s links with the surrounding area.

San Martín Church was built in the 18th century after an earlier church was relocated. The Neoclassical La Bodega Palace and Conde San Diego Cultural Centre reveal different periods of local architecture. Indoor access depends on each building’s use and opening times.

The Calabozo Museum offers guided visits by reservation. The Cantabrian Settlement and the Museum of Textile Art and Regional Dress have their own conditions and schedules, which may change; check the town’s events calendar before travelling.

Places, routes and festivals

The town’s salt-mining history is also present at Pozo Tresano, where plans for an interpretation centre are still being studied. Its guide explains the site’s industrial value and the project’s current status; it is not a museum open to the public.
