Trasmiera Ecopark
Trasmiera Ecopark is a cultural and environmental project by Arnuero county. Arnuero is one of municipalities in the beautiful Cantabria region. The region is best known for its stunning beaches and warm climate. However, the local authorities in Arnuero wanted to broaden its appeal as a holiday destination, whilst conserving the remarkable natural environment of the County. With this in mind, they decided to launch the Ecopark, a cultural and historical hub, often referred to as ‘an open-air museum’. The park, overlooked by lush forests and hills, is a wonderful showcase of what Arnuero has to offer; great natural environment, cultural heritage and history.
