Nestares: Golf, Mill and Church in Cantabria

Golf and Trails

Golf, architectural history and a route along the Camino Natural del Ebro give Nestares several clearly distinct themes. The Golf Nestares course has 18 holes, par 72, gentle elevation changes and a length of 6,250 m. Golf Nestares offers practice facilities with an approach area, a bunker and a putting green. For personal planning, a regular round of golf and individual practice sessions can be considered as separate components of the day. A walking and cycling route along the Camino Natural del Ebro also runs through Nestares. Activities such as golf and a route on foot or by bike can be assigned separate priorities without this having to result in a fixed itinerary.

Other linked places include Cillorigo De Liébana, Peñarrubia, Villapresente, Tresviso, Rionansa, Pedreña, Torices and Colindres.

Culture and History

The sluice gates at the mill of the Casona de Nestares are still operational; the mill wheels and part of the hydraulic structure have also been preserved. The mill of the Casona de Nestares was in operation during the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1752, the mill had four millstones. Those interested in architectural and usage history can consider the technical details and the chronological information as two separate approaches.

The first construction phase of the Iglesia de San Salvador dates from the early 16th century and follows late Gothic forms. In 1829, the Iglesia de San Salvador received a Baroque extension. The different construction phases can be considered independently when planning your day, as can the mill and its surviving components.

The themes can also be arranged in Nestares according to your preferred way of structuring the day. Those who want to combine different interests can include the sporting aspect, the route and the historic sites separately in their own plans. What matters is not a predetermined order, but which of these existing focal points should shape the stay.
