[4] The road that ascends to Golobar starts from the PP-2204 that joins Brañosera with Reinosa, in Cantabria (from the Cantabrian limit it is called CA-280) going up the Sierra de Híjar.

[6] The history of Golobar is linked to the ski resort project that the Provincial Council of Palencia carried out in that place at the end of the 1960s, which also included the construction of a Parador de Turismo at its summit.

[3] The tourist boom in mountain sports, backed by the success of the nearby Alto Campoo ski resort, led to the idea of locating the facility in this privileged environment.

After the completion of the road leading to the parador, whose construction was practically finished on an esplanade in front of a spectacular valley, the first ski lifts were built a few kilometers below and close to a large parking lot with a capacity for 250 vehicles.

[3] Since then, the facilities have suffered progressive deterioration: the ski lifts were removed because of the risk they posed and the hotel building was first used as a shelter and then as a livestock corral, which is the use it is currently assigned.
