Colio

Colio is a beautiful Cantabrian village located in the heart of the Picos de Europa. It's a very small town (it has scarcely more than 70 inhabitants), but has an irresistible charm due, firstly, to its location in the midst of a unique and spectacular landscape. Secondly, it's one of the few remaining places where you can still see authentic Cantabrian culture and traditions.

The houses that make up this town are mostly stone and have few windows so as to protect against the cold in winter and keep cool in summer. The streets are unpaved and a quick walk will reveal items and traditions that have long since been abandoned in cities, the wearing of clogs, for instance.
