Colindres town: historic quarter, port and estuary
Discover Colindres
Colindres is the municipality’s only locality. The town is organised around Colindres de Arriba, where the historic core and manor-house route survive, and Colindres de Abajo, which developed around the Alameda, port and modernist buildings. The Viar neighbourhood connects the two areas.
Colindres de Arriba
The upper quarter preserves the Palacio del Infantado, San Juan church, tower houses and manor houses associated with local families. The walking route passes public and private buildings; homes can only be viewed from the street.
Colindres de Abajo
In the lower quarter, Alameda-Gurugú and its bandstand anchor an urban expansion from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Casa de Cultura, villas, Carmen church and port promenade tell that story. By the estuary, the waterfront path looks over the port and marsh edge.
The historic crossing between two banks
Treto Bridge connects Colindres with Treto, in the neighbouring municipality of Bárcena de Cicero. The bridge and the former ferry served both banks; its heritage page remains under the neighbouring municipality to avoid duplicating the site.
