The North Spanish Coast / Cantabria Province region

Looking for a special vacation? Near our house are some of the best mountain walks in Europe, great cuisine, cider houses, prehistoric caves including the famous Altamira, spectacular beaches, "Picos de Europa", or other interesting places such as the Guggenheim Bilbao.

The region's cuisine is based around game and seafood. Specialities include "sorropotún" (a traditional fisherman's stew), the magnificent seafood straight from the waters of the Cantabrian Sea, and the famous "corbatas en Unquera", a delicious dessert made from puff pastry. We especially recommend "Restaurant Boga Boga" in San Vicente de la Barquera.

If exploring unusual rock formations is more your thing, then be sure to visit El Soplao cave (known as "The Sistine Chapel with stalagtites"). Hidden inside the cave is a real natural paradise, made up of geological phenomena such as stalagtites, stalagmites, false ceilings, and the so-called "helipticas" which cause all kinds of optical effects involving light and shadow as well as unusual colours and sensations. You can take two different types of tours of the cave: one suitable for children, and the other for adults only and including the hire of equipment and helmet.

Some of the best beaches in the area are El Sable, Barnejo or Berellin, Amio, Aramalar, Pedrero and Las Arenas. The river estuaries, Tina la Mayor and Tina la Menor, form magnificent wetlands.

For keen bird-watchers (and even amateurs), the estuary of La Rabia, just 20 minutes from the property, is an absolute must. The marshes of the estuary are home to an impressive variety of waterfowl that have settled and established breeding sites here, thanks to recent attempts at conservation. You can see, among others, herons, common egrets, common swans, black swans, and a variety of ducks including mallards, teals and red ducks.
