1. Visiting El Soplao Cave (and the Ferrería de Cades too)

Visiting El Soplao Cave is a very fun experience for kids as its access is provided by a little train which will make them feel adventurous explorers for a day. Near El Soplao there is the Ferrería de Cades, a less-known but super interesting museum situated in an old water mill forge. Adults would love to discover the history of the forge and its impact in the area while children would be impressed when watching the old machinery in motion.

2. Doing a rural route or a local arts&crafts workshop

The kids would love to do this Rural Route in Serdio, the village of our eco-apartments. In this route, Olaya pick you up in her mare car, take you through the surroundings of the village and finish it showing you different farm animals for the kids to interact with. Another perfect activity for families is the  rural experience Stonecutter for a day. In this experience, Susana will show you the beautiful village of Tudanca through a simple walk, and afterwards you could enjoy a workshop from Vicente, one of the best stonecutters in the area. 

3. Visiting the Castle of the King, in San Vicente de la Barquera

A great plan for time travelers is to walk through the old walls and old town of  San Vicente de la Barquera and finishing it in the Castle of the King.

Because who doesn’t like a castle to play medieval times?

A perfect place for the children to make friends!
