Cantabria and Green Spain

Located in the north and boasting spectacular landscapes of rocky coastlines, uninterrupted sandy beaches and dunes and framed by a breath-taking mountainous backdrop, Cantabria is an underrated region that offers a completely different perspective of Spain. 

Kickstart your holiday with the ultimate in Spanish hospitality – with traditional tapas and a glass of sangria on arrival and relax into your surroundings in the charming coastal town of Suances. 

We enjoy free time in the relaxing resort of Suances, as well as visits to the engaging capital city of Cantabria, Santander, with fine beaches, shops cafes and intriguing cultural attractions.

 

Enjoy a coastal drive to Santilana del mar where we spent time exploring its cobbles streets and admiring the honey-coloured churches, before making a stop at the Cave of Altamira. We also explore more of this glorious Cantabria coastline visiting the picturesque town of San Vicentre de la Barquera, set with a stunning backdrop of the Picos de Europa National Park. We get the opportunity to journey through Spanish countryside and spend time in Picos de Europa National Park and their visitor centre too.
