Location

Juan de la Cosa map

Santoña, just under two miles away, is a traditional fishing town known for its production of anchovies. Directly to the front of the hotel is a stretch of white sand beach, famous with surfers, that runs for nearly two miles. While inland there are wildlife-rich marshes and hills crisscrossed by hiking trails. The nearest bus stop from the hotel is 240 yards away. The drive to/from the airport takes approximately one hour.

Out and about

Historic Santander, the capital city of Cantabria, is around 28 miles away. While the Basque capital of Bilbao, home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum, is around 44 miles away. Both are accessible by bus.

Santander

A jewel on Spain’s verdant ‘Green Coast’, Santander has long been a popular seaside resort thanks to its white-sand beaches. Of special note are the Palacio de la Magdalena, the royal summer palace built in the early 1900s which houses an interesting art collection, the 13th-century Cathedral de la Asuncion, the Centro Botin art museum, and the Paseo de Pereda y Calle Castellar promenade park, which is lined with Baroque-inspired houses.

Bilbao

Founded in 1300, Bilbao developed into a shipbuilding centre during the 19th century. Contrast the Renaissance, Baroque and modernist architecture of the historic centre with newer additions to the cityscape. The most striking of these is the riverside Guggenheim Museum, a wave-like structure clad in titanium plates that reflect the surrounding art district. Other highlights include the funicular which offers panoramic views on its way to the summit of Artxanda and Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park, the city’s largest green space.

Address

Primera Avenida de Playa Berria, 14, Santona Spain 39740

Across the bay from this hotel in the cliffs above Liendo, lives one of the largest colony of Griffon vultures in mainland Europe, which can be visited with specialist guides on one of our Birdwatching or Walking holidays. What better endorsement of Cantabria’s unspoilt environment?

Optional excursions

Lierganes

1 / 5

This morning we’ll visit the medieval village of Liérganes, considered one of northern Spain’s most beautiful settings. It’s a chance to delve into Cantabrian culture as we weave around the cobbled streets and cross the 16th century stone bridge - Puente Mayor – that straddles the Tormes River at Salamanca. We’ll also visit the Renaissance style Church of San Pedro Advíncula and learn about the legend of El Hombre Pez – the Fish Man of Lierganes. It’s a lovely place to spend the morning with several tapas bars tempting you in for fried calamari, tortilla or chocolate con churros before we head back to the hotel.
