El Golobar

Spain

El Golobar is a mountain spot located in the north of the province of Palencia, Spain. It is located in a region of great ecological richness, the Montaña Palentina, in the municipality of Brañosera, the oldest municipality in Spain. At the end of the 1960s, there were plans to build a ski resort in the vicinity, and several ski lifts and a large building at the top of the mountain to be used as a Parador de Turismo, but the project was stopped and the facilities were abandoned. The road that gives access to the enclave reaches 1840 m.a.s.l. and is the highest in the province. From the parking lot, you can easily reach the peaks of Valdecebollas and Sestil, as well as other important points of the Sierra de Híjar, such as Sel de la Fuente, where the Pisuerga River rises.
