FREE QUOTE FOR YOUR CANTABRIA TOUR

The greatest attractions in Cantabria are its contrasts: green valleys, towering peaks, and blue waters. The coastal scenery is lovely, often lined with fine beaches, little resorts and picturesque fishing villages. In Cantabria there is one world that revolves around agriculture and cattle-raising, the other centres around fishing. The coats of arms displayed on the stately homes are reminders of a proud past, while in the valleys, enclosed between mountains, rural life goes on as usual.

The coastal fringe of Cantabria from east to west is dotted with historical and tourist towns such as Castro Urdiales, Laredo, Noja and the captial of the region; Santander, with its lovely Sardinero beach and splendid bay. Further along the Cantabria coast towns such as Comillas, San Vicente de la Barquera and Santillana del Mar are particularly nice. Inland, the Liebana valley with Potes and Mogrovejo, and Cabuerniga valley, where we find Carmona and Barcena Mayor which have remained unchanged for centuries.  Cantabria is ideal as a single holiday destination or part of a longer holiday.
