The place
Traditional shepherd's chozo of the Montaña Palentina, on the northern border of the province of Palencia with Cantabria. A small dry-stone structure typical of the shepherd shelters dotted across these high Cantabrian foothill pastures, where seasonal transhumance has shaped the landscape for centuries. The area has been the subject of a restoration programme by the Brañosera town council and the Junta de Castilla y León to preserve these remnants of pastoral heritage, now used by hikers on the ridge routes toward the Pico Curavacas and the Valdecebollas.
Getting there
On the ridge trails of the Montaña Palentina, Brañosera-Cervera de Pisuerga area.
The setting
High pastures of the Montaña Palentina, Cantabrian foothills.
