Cadiñanos is a small village in the province of Burgos, located in the Merindades region. Situated on the road between Trespaderne and Bilbao, the village is primarily agricultural and tourist-oriented. It belongs to the municipality of Trespaderne and sits on the banks of a river where a small dam has been built.
The village's origins date back to the 10th century. Its main monuments include a Romanesque church, Iglesia San Pelayo, and a medieval castle known as Casa Solariega Las Torres. The castle belonged to the Medina Rosales family and is of artistic interest, though it is currently in a state of ruin. Only two of the four towers it once had remain standing today.
Cadiñanos is known for its popular festivals, which are organized by a private non-profit organization without public aid. The village maintains a small population of between 50 and 60 people, though this number increases significantly during holiday periods and weekends.
