Trail description

The Naturea Cantabria route CA-ENP09 leaves Bustablado (Arredondo) behind the cemetery, climbs through Atlantic beech wood to the monument to the Pasiega cow and Los Machucos, then up very steep slopes and across a boggy col to the summit of Porracolina (1414 m) in Collados del Asón Natural Park. Griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures and Cantabrian chamois are often seen; the return is by the same way. Not recommended in bad weather.
