Pozo Negro de Rubalcaba

The Pozo Negro de Rubalcaba is a natural pool of the Miera River, located next to the village of Rubalcaba, in the municipality of Liérganes, Cantabria, very close to the access path from the rural core. According to the coordinates provided, it is located in the immediate surroundings of Rubalcaba, a village of Liérganes about two kilometers from the main town. It is a place of water embedded in a fluvial and riverside environment, with the appearance of a dark pool or deep backwater, in a landscape of transition between meadows, forest and mountain riverbed. What attracts the visitor is the combination of water, rocks and riparian vegetation, in addition to the more rugged character of the access, which preserves an environment little altered and closely linked to the traditional landscape of the valley. Its interest is mainly scenic and recreational, as a place for bathing or contemplation in the right season, within the minor natural heritage of Liérganes. The reference spread by the network of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain identifies it as a "natural pool" of wild path near Liérganes, which reinforces its value as a local resource of nature and leisure of low intensity. The sources consulted do not include a specific environmental protection figure or an associated legend. Its relevance depends mainly on its integration in the fluvial landscape of the Miera and its use as a singular enclave in the rural environment of Rubalcaba.
