Naredo de Fenar: Valley, History and Horse Rides

Naredo de Fenar is the first village at the eastern entrance to the Fenar Valley. Remains of a medieval tower have been preserved in the upper part of the village centre.

Landscape

Las Lamas is a wooded slope running south along Naredo de Fenar, with unpaved paths and views of the Torío River. Between Naredo de Fenar and Pardavé lies the medieval Presa del Salvador on a platform above the river level. The Fuente de las Lomas, where hikers can enjoy a refreshing drink of water, is located along the hiking route near Naredo de Fenar. These landscape features can be given separate consideration when planning your own day.

Culture

El Castro is a cone-shaped hill near Naredo de Fenar and is considered a possible pre-Roman defensive site. La Pedrera, also known as Petraria, is documented in medieval records as the quarry used to build the cathedral. The traditional working heritage of Naredo de Fenar and Robledo de Fenar included quarries and lime kilns, including “Vega Ipina” and “Vega Pepina”, respectively. For your own planning, you can consider these historical references independently of the landscape and activity information.

Experiences

At Rancho Canadá, participants can visit the stables; Rancho Canadá also offers themed workshops. In Naredo de Fenar, Centro Country Rancho Canadá is listed with a riding arena and horse rentals for rides in the surrounding area. Rancho Canadá offers guided horse rides through the surrounding mountains and valleys. You can consider the different types of activities separately when planning, without combining them into a unified programme.

For your personal day planning, you can weigh the types of activities mentioned at Rancho Canadá independently of one another. You can set your own focus or combine several themes; no particular order is prescribed. You decide for yourself whether to take up individual areas one after another or deliberately keep them separate. You can also switch between cultural, landscape and active themes without creating a fixed itinerary. The historical references and landscape information can stand alongside the activities without changing their character. Each focus remains independent while you arrange the different perspectives on Naredo de Fenar in the order you choose. You may find it helpful to read the topics individually first and only then establish your own order. A focused day can just as easily be combined with a varied sequence of focal points. The references to places can also remain separate if you would like to divide your planning into several sections. Your attention can be on one area at a time before you move on to another. Such an arrangement allows the topics to coexist while leaving the weighting to your personal interests.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Naredo de Fenar, accommodation pages list travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions as separate details alongside the location information. This keeps the accommodation decision separate from the described landscape, cultural and horse-riding topics; these topics do not need to be combined into a unified programme.
