Cicera

Cicera is a small mountain village that embodies the essence of the Lebaniego Way: a physical challenge rewarded by an overwhelming nature. Located in the municipality of Peñarrubia, this stop is a milestone for pilgrims who traverse the interior valleys of Cantabria on their route to Santo Toribio. The stage leading to Cicera is demanding, with significant inclines, but passes through exceptional landscapes, such as the forest path that traverses the oak and hazel woods of Viorna. For the hiker, arriving at this village is finding a refuge in peace and an authentic rural atmosphere. Its traditional housing and the hospitality of its people allow for profound rest. Services are limited, typical of mountain surroundings, so it's essential to plan well the journey. From Cicera, the pilgrim faces the final mountain stretch before descending into Liébana Valley. It is a stop that strengthens the spirit and connects the hiker with wilder and more genuine Cantabria, an unforgettable experience in the pilgrimage to Lignum Crucis.
