Cervera de Pisuerga

The airfield, primarily a forestry airstrip, became obsolete. Its closure was due to a combination of factors: 1) The dissolution in 1991 of its original operator, ICONA (Instituto para la Conservación de la Naturaleza). 2) The subsequent transfer of forest management and firefighting responsibilities to the regional government of Castile and León. 3) The strategic decision to centralize aerial firefighting assets at larger, more modern, and better-equipped bases, rendering small, rudimentary airstrips like this one redundant.

The site is completely abandoned and in a state of decay. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the visible outline of a dirt or gravel runway. However, the runway is heavily overgrown with grass, shrubs, and vegetation. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or any aviation infrastructure on the site. The land has largely reverted to a natural/agricultural state and is not being used for any formal purpose.

The site was a 'Pista Forestal' (Forestry Airstrip), a basic airfield built and operated by the Spanish government's nature conservation agency, ICONA. Its primary and likely sole purpose was to support aerial operations against forest fires in the mountainous Montaña Palentina region. It served as a forward operating base for light aircraft, such as spotter planes and single-engine air tankers (like the PZL-Mielec M-18 Dromader), enabling a rapid initial attack on wildfires in the local area. It was part of a wider national network of similar airstrips crucial for protecting Spain's forests before the consolidation of modern air bases.

There are no known or published plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the airfield. Given its rudimentary original condition, its current state of disrepair, and the fact that its former role is now fulfilled by more capable and strategically located air bases in the region, the likelihood of its reactivation for any aviation purpose is considered extremely low to non-existent.
