Besaya valley path, Roman road and hiking trail in Cantabria and Castile and León, Spain
The Besaya Valley Path extends along the Besaya River, featuring stone-paved sections and mountain passages through native forest formations.
Dating from the 18th century, this path contains stone slabs that were initially thought to be part of a Roman road connecting Pisoraca to Portus Blendium.
The route received recognition as a cultural heritage site, reflecting the historical methods of transportation and communication in northern Spain.
The longest preserved section spans four kilometers between Pie de Concha and Somaconcha, with a platform width of three meters.
The path includes sections with slopes exceeding 30 percent, alternating with near-horizontal segments throughout the mountainous terrain.
