Orbaneja del Castillo is a town and minor local entity located in the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León (Spain), in the Páramos region. Administratively, it belongs to the municipality of Valle de Sedano, although it was traditionally an independent enclave. As of 2020, it has a population of 47.[2]
Orbaneja del Castillo is a town located on the border with Cantabria, situated between the municipality of Valderredible in Cantabria and Escalada (Burgos). It is located 67 km north of Burgos.
It is characterized by its karst landscape shaped by water. The Cueva del Agua (Water Cave) has attracted the interest of various scholars of geology and related sciences. But there are also other lesser-known caves such as the Nispero Cave and the Barbancho Cave. A stream flows out of it, crossing the town before cascading down into the Ebro River, which passes nearby.
Tuff is also present, notable for several factors and its high content of diverse materials.[3] This characteristic is shared with other nearby towns such as Tubilla del Agua.
