Arredondo: Routes and Feria de Año

You can plan a trip to Arredondo around three specific themes: its links to the Río Asón protected area and the Río Bustablao, several routes with different named stops, and the Feria de Año de Todos los Santos on November 1. Bus connections to Santander and Ramales de la Victoria are also relevant planning information.

Protected area and river section

The Río Asón Special Area of Conservation includes parts of the municipality of Arredondo. The protected stretch of the Río Bustablao runs from its confluence with the Río Asón to the bridge on the road from Bustablao. The two protected-area references are distinct: for the Río Asón, parts of the municipality are included; for the Río Bustablao section, a stretch between the confluence and the bridge is delimited. When comparing the river names as you plan your trip, you can distinguish the protected area along the Asón from the specifically defined stretch of the Bustablao.

Routes from Arredondo

Several routes start in Arredondo, but their named destinations and intermediate stops differ. The route to Nacimiento del Asón (Cascada) is a circular walk starting and ending in Arredondo. The route through the Valle de Asón goes from Arredondo via Socueva, Buzulucueva, Los Machucos, and Bustablado, and back to Arredondo. Another route goes from Arredondo via the Senda Fluvial del Asón, the Río Asón, and the Cascada del Ansón, and back to Arredondo. The PR-S 09 “Sendero de Peña Lavalle” is a hiking route starting in Arredondo. The two routes with named intermediate stops differ in focus: one takes in places in the Valle de Asón, while the other follows the Senda Fluvial and includes the river and the Cascada. Check current route conditions before setting out.

Feria de Año de Todos los Santos

The Feria de Año de Todos los Santos takes place in Arredondo every year on November 1. It is a major livestock breeders’ gathering featuring a goat livestock fair. Its focus differs from a trip centered on the routes: here, the gathering and goat livestock fair are the main events. If you plan to visit Arredondo around this date, you can use the Feria as a fixed point in your trip planning and check the specific event dates in advance.

Bus connections and trip planning

Bus services connect Arredondo with Santander, the capital of Cantabria, and with Ramales de la Victoria. Check the current timetable before travelling if one of these connections is important for your journey. You can then choose where to stay based on the purpose of your trip, such as attending the Feria on November 1 or exploring the routes whose named stops interest you most. This keeps the date and the route you want to explore at the heart of your search.
