Liérganes

Liérganes needs 1 day: touring the town, with its colorful 'indiano' mansions and the stone bridge over the Miera river, and visiting its thermal spa, in a single day. May-September brings Cantabria's mildest weather. It's inexpensive, among the cheapest towns in inland Cantabria. It's the birthplace of the legend of the 'Fish Man of Liérganes,' a young man who according to local tradition disappeared while swimming in the 17th century and reappeared years later transformed into an amphibious creature, one of Cantabrian folklore's best-known legends.
