Other than the Cueva de las Aguas with its marvelous paintings and cave engravings, you can also visit the parish church of Novales known as Our Lady of the Assumption. It has been included in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage of Cantabria in 2001. This mid sixteenth century church reveals the architect’s brilliant work. A visit to the city of San-Vicente-de-la-Barquera, nearly 15 kilometers from Novales, will be truly an enchanting experience. The old village style atmosphere with snow-covered Picos de Europa Mountains in the backdrop is a feast for the eyes. Major highlights of this city are the Santa Maria de los Angeles church, the Maza bridge, and beaches like El Rosal, Fuentes, and Primera de San Vicente. Make one of the holiday homes Novales as your base and take the city by storm.
The dining culture is well maintained by the local chefs who finely blend the traditional delights with the local produce to give birth to some of the best flavors. If you book Novales holiday houses in the month of August, then you will find this city in one of its best forms as the festival of Our Lady of the Assumption is celebrated with various dance and musical performances, choir, and games on August 15 every year.
