Discover Reinosa

Those looking for a hotel in Reinosa can shape their stay around different interests: architectural history and urban culture, festivals associated with Campoo, or routes and green spaces along the Ebro. The sights and activities offer a variety of experiences—from historic buildings in the town centre to nature trails in the surrounding area.

Architectural history and urban culture

In the centre of Reinosa stands the Iglesia Parroquial de San Sebastián, a Baroque church declared a Bien de Interés Cultural and a Monumento-Artístico in 1982. Its features include notable altarpieces and an organ of regional significance. La Casona, also known as Casa de la Niña de Oro, offers a different architectural accent with its Neoclassical style: the building dates from 1778 and is also a Bien de Interés Cultural.

The buildings around Plaza del Ayuntamiento also reflect different periods. The stone buildings there date from the 16th and 17th centuries. The current Ayuntamiento was inaugurated in 1935 in the Neoclassical style and has a dressed-stone façade. On Calle Mayor stands Casa de Pano, an 18th-century Renaissance mansion also known as Casa del Marqués de Cilleruelo. Fuente La Aurora, one of the municipality’s landmarks, is also on Calle Mayor.

Teatro Principal combines a striking exterior detail with a current cultural programme: a five-arch porch survives on its façade. The Ayuntamiento organises music, theatre and film events there; the programme may change, so check the events calendar before visiting. Puente de Carlos III plays a different role in the townscape: it connects the two parts of Reinosa separated by the river.

Near Reinosa, the Convento de San Francisco and the old cemetery together form a Neoclassical site that is part of Cantabria’s cultural heritage. The Museo al aire libre de Actividades Tradicionales de la Comarca de Campoo offers another way to explore regional history: it has been located in a park in Reinosa since 1999 and provides information about the region’s traditional economic activities.

Festivals, cuisine and regional traditions

The San Sebastián festival is celebrated every year on 20 January in honour of the municipality’s patron saint and is recognised as a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional. It includes the Concurso de Ollas Ferroviarias: dishes in the cooking competition are made with potatoes and beef. Día de Campoo is also recognised as a Fiesta de Interés Turístico. At the parade documented in 2025, floats depicted scenes from traditional life in various places in the valley. Check the relevant festival programme for future editions.

Mercado Campurriano takes place every year; the 2026 edition is the 23rd. Producers and craftspeople from Campoo offer cheese, cured meats, honey, confectionery and preserves there. Check the dates for future editions. Another regional speciality is the Pantortilla, a puff pastry typical of Reinosa. You can try it beneath the arcades of Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

The festival calendar also includes Enramada de San Juan. The tradition was revived in 2017 and has become firmly established in Reinosa’s festival calendar; its specific form may vary from year to year. Alongside the established historic landmarks, there are also recurring festival traditions whose programmes you can take into account separately when planning your travel dates.

Along the Ebro: routes and activities

Parque de los Obeso runs alongside the Ebro, which flows through Reinosa. Paseo del Quintanal is also a good option for a walk: its pedestrian footbridge crosses the river and leads to Finca de los Obeso. The municipal hiking information also covers the GR99 nature trail along the Ebro and the Cantabrian trail network in Campoo-Los Valles. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

The 2026 municipal report describes the Triatlón Blanco de Reinosa as a multi-stage competition. The 2026 municipal report describes a six-kilometre run in Reinosa, followed by 20 kilometres of cycling from Reinosa to the Alto Campoo ski resort, and finally six kilometres of cross-country skiing at the resort. Check the route and future editions before your trip.
