TRANSCRIPT
The suggested route travels through some of the most typical forest ecosystems of the Natural Park with oak forest being the most commonly seen. It starts at the old sawmill at Casa del Monte, following the track south towards Braña del Moral. After reaching the Casa Andinoso the route meets the forest, to the left of the track, following a short walk on wooden steps. From here, the path is followed all the time except to get to the pastures of jóu de la Collá and the abandoned village of Rozas. The oval shaped pasture is covered in spring by asphodel, which used to be harvested as pig food. It is overlooked from the top of a nearby hill, by a sheperds’ shelter. In Rozas we’ll find the ruins of a village which was abandoned in the 17th century, when the locals moved to the centres of population at the bottom of the valley. We’ll come off the path for a few metres to visit the roble tumbado (the leaning oak), a wonderful and spectacular specimen included in the Open Inventory of Peculiar Trees of Cantabria(Inventario Abierto de Árboles Singulares de Cantabria). It is possible to make out, in the Llana de Olar, the remains of an exploited forest resource: the coal rooms. The firewood would be covered with tree branches and clay and then burnt in a process which took several days. Coal was the main fuel used in homes. In addition to this, coal was under heavy demand by the industry of centuries passed due to its use as a fuel in iron and steel factories. The end of the path takes us to the track of the Hayacorva at the Vuelta de la Cotera, from where we will descend to the starting point of the route.
