Salvador Hedilla was a pioneer of aviation in Spain and in 1916 he became the first pilot to arrive from the peninsula to the Balearic Islands. As a pilot, instructor and mechanic, he made an important contribution to the development of the Spanish aeronautical industry at the beginning of the 20th century.

It is located in Ajo in the municipality of Bareyo. The Convent of San Idelfonso was ordered to be built in 1588 by Alonso de Camino, captain of Felipe II in Flanders. Currently, the convent is in ruins, although in recent years it was decided to restore and use the Convent of San Idelfonso as an important Romanesque Interpretation Center. The church is kept in good conservation. Check first that it is open. There is a town guide who explains it very well.

The port has an altitude of 350 meters, a distance of 3.65 km and an average slope of 7%. The asphalt is in very good condition. The road runs next to wooded areas but the shadows are not very abundant. There are almost no cars.

A small observatory where you can see the marshes and the multitude of birds in their habitat. There are a couple of benches to enjoy it more quietly.

At the entrance roundabout to Castillo Siete Villas , a town in the Cantabrian municipality of Arnuero, this tribute to the pilot and neighbor Salvador Hedilla was inaugurated on July 2, 2016, coinciding with the centenary of the first flight he made from the Peninsula to the Balearic Islands, specifically from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca. For this flight he used a monoplane designed by him and built under his direction, whose replica made by inmates of El Dueso Prison from a photograph and with materials provided by the city council can be seen in the roundabout. His feat earned him the Mediterranean Cup, a gold trophy donated by the King. https://espanabizarra-tumblr-com.translate.goog/post/166756867086/homenaje-salvador-hedilla-castillo-siete-villas?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=sc
