Natural Monument of the Sequoias of Monte Cabezón, Cantabria, Spain
4.5 (445 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Cabezon de la Sal Nature & Wildlife Areas
Coast Redwoods on the Iberian Coast
This small but impressive grove of coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) is so close to the A8 motorway that it would be a shame to miss them. Be aware that you can't turn left into the small parking area but must go a short distance up the road, turn around and come back. It is a short but easy stroll down a wide boardwalk to the grove of several hundred specimens. Take a moment to ponder the fact that they are so far from their natural range but so much at home in these growing conditions.

Pleasant walk through a forest of sequoias
The trail passes down the hill through a forest of sequoia pines brought back to Spain from the Americas. The path is flat and well made. A new boardwalk makes the forest accessible for people in wheelchairs. We enjoyed the magnificence of the trees.

Amazing!
This is something really fantastic, sequoia trees in Spain! Wonderful stroll through the giants, enjoying the silence and the fresh air. Because of the shade the ground is somewhat wet so make sure you wear proper shoes. Small free parking by the entrance.
