(Translated by Google) A very enjoyable guided tour. The church's layout is somewhat unusual, with the altar in the center. The carving of the Virgin nursing the Child is very beautiful, with a peaceful expression. The separate tower was built a few centuries after the church, although no one would guess. It's part of the Camino de Santiago Lebaniego. I recommend checking in advance to see what time the tours are. (Original) Visita guiada muy amena. Planta de la iglesia algo peculiar, con el altar en el centro. La talla de la Virgen amamantando al niño es muy bonita, con un semblante que da paz. Torre separada, hecha unos siglos después de la Iglesia, aunque nadie lo diría. Parte del camino de Santiago lebaniego. Recomiendo mirar con antelación a qué hora son las visitas.

(Translated by Google) A rectangular church measuring 16 m long by 12 m wide, it has three naves ending in three parallel apses. The central nave is wider and taller than the side naves, all three covered by barrel vaults and separated by pillars and attached columns designed to receive the transverse and former arches. The pillars, topped by Corinthian capitals, have double collars and support horseshoe arches, except for the apse area, where the arches are semicircular. The triumphal arch is framed by a traditional Muslim alfiz. The altar front is preserved, carved from a prismatic sandstone block, featuring richly engraved and sometimes painted decoration. The central motif is a double circle with a swastika, surrounded by six circles with geometric motifs. On the exterior, the cornices contain modillions richly decorated with swastikas and six-petaled flowers. The walls are masonry with ashlars at the corners. The building has an attached portico and a Baroque-era sacristy. A free-standing tower, erected at the end of the last century with the dubious intention of embellishing the monument, completes the complex. The Cartulary of the Monastery of Santo Toribio preserves a document, dated 925, which records the legend that the Counts of Liébana ordered the church to be built with the intention of transferring the remains of Saint Toribio to it. However, when the saint's remains were transferred, both counts went blind, and they did not regain their sight until the body was returned to the Monastery of Santo Toribio. (Original) Iglesia de planta rectangular de 16 m. de longitud por 12 m. de anchura. Posee tres naves rematadas en tres ábsides paralelos. La nave central es más ancha y alta que las laterales, estando cubiertas las tres por bóvedas de cañón y separadas por pilares y columnas adosadas preparadas para recibir los arcos fajones y formeros. Los pilares, rematados por capiteles corintios, tienen collarino doble y soportan arcos de herradura, a excepción de la zona de la cabecera, donde los arcos son de medio punto. El arco triunfal está enmarcado por un alfiz de tradición musulmana. Conserva el frontal del altar, labrado en un bloque prismático de arenisca, presentando una rica decoración grabada y a veces pintada. El motivo central es un doble círculo con una esvástica, alrededor del cual hay seis círculos con motivos geométricos. En el exterior las cornisas contienen modillones ricamente decorados con esvásticas y flores de seis pétalos. Los muros son de mampostería con sillares en los esquinales. El edificio tiene adosado un pórtico y una sacristía de época barroca. Una torre exenta, que se levantó a finales del siglo pasado con la dudosa intención de embellecer el monumento, completa el conjunto. En el Cartulario del monasterio de Santo Toribio se conserva un documento, fechado en el año 925, en el cual se recoge la leyenda que cuenta que los condes de Liébana mandaron levantar la iglesia con la intención de trasladar a ella los restos de Santo Toribio. Sin embargo, al efectuarse el traslado de los restos del santo, ambos condes quedaron ciegos, no recuperando la vista hasta que el cuerpo no se devolvió al monasterio de Santo Toribio.

(Translated by Google) The tour guide was superb! The lady explained everything about the church to us with such love! (Original) La guía visita ha sido súper buena!! La señora nos ha explicado con mucho amor sobre la iglesia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really interesting exhibition on the ground floor with English translations for most of it. Great video about rural life. Not much upstairs but didn't watch the 18 minute video. And the man at the desk spoke excellent English and was really helpful. Free entry and free parking

Great space for a visitors centre but a lot of the exhibits are looking a bit run down and need of some tlc

Some basic information about geology, fauna and flora of Picos. Unfortunately it’s a rather sad experience. Half of the installations is off or not working properly. Place have problems with maintenance. Imposing building with very little inside. Lost potential. Pity

Good background to the area. Text in both Spanish and English. Not busy when I was there in the early morning. It is free to enter.

Found it more useful as a tourist information centre. The 3d maps are super useful in helping you understand the layout of Picos de Europa. The gentleman at reception was friendly and helpful. I think you need max 1 hour, worth your time.

Fantastic experience. Surprisingly it’s all for free. The whole place is wheelchair friendly, everything on the displays are written in Spanish and English. You follow the arrows from section to section. There is a slope up to the cinema, which shows an 18 minute film of the changing seasons and habitat of the mountains. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent information centre. Allow time to look at the displays
