Top 5 Recommendations in Cantabria

1. Travel to the past walking through Santillana del Mar

An essential visit for any traveller passing through Cantabria is the beautiful medieval town of Santillana del Mar. A villa preserved from the passing of time, the beauty of its streets and stone houses, with its balconies adorned with flowers, surprises visitors. The Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana is the masterpiece of Santillana del Mar, one of the Romanesque jewels in Spain whose construction dates from the 12th century.

2. Sunbathe on La Salve beach in Laredo

One of the most famous and best-rated in the north. It is the largest sandy beach in Cantabria and one of the longest beaches in the north, more than four kilometres long. In addition, its location between Santoña Bay and Treto estuary is protected from the waves, which makes it suitable for bathing every day.

3. Be fascinated by the cave paintings of Altamira Cave

Known as the "Sistine Chapel" of rock art, Altamira contains the best examples of Palaeolithic paintings in the world. Altamira is the best but not the only example of rock art in Cantabria. Visits are currently limited to just five a day, although the museum does host a faithful reproduction. In nearby towns, in the area of Santillana del Mar, are also the caves of El Castillo, La Pasiega, Las Monedas, Covalanas, Hornos de la Peña and El Pendo.

4. Santander and the Magdalena Palace

The Cantabrian capital continues to be one of the most elegant cities in the north, with its pleasant walks and lively cultural life. Chosen for its beauty and romantic elegance as the setting for several television series, the Palacio de la Magdalena is one of the city's emblems. This early 20th century palace dominates the peninsula of the same name, next to the bay of Santander, and is surrounded by beaches.

5. Behold the animals of the Nature Park in Cabarceno

It is one of the main centres in Spain to see all types of animals in semi-liberty regime. The park enclosure is located in an old iron extraction mine, in the town of Cabarceno, part of the municipality of Penagos and its more than 20 kilometres of roads can be travelled by car or bicycle.
