History
Bercedo lies on a crossing of ancient Roman roads with one leading North to Falviobriga, modern day Castro Urdiales. In nearby Шаблон:Ill and Villasante shoes of that era are preserved. Castillian wool travelled on the road through Bercedo to the port of Laredo.
This is how Bercedo was described in the middle of the 19th century, in volume IV of the Dictionary of Spain and its Overseas Possessions, a work promoted by Pascual Madoz :[4]
