Juan de la Cosa map

Santoña is a traditional fishing town that’s famous for its delicious anchovies – you’ll find them on the menu in almost every tapas bar. A three-kilometre ribbon of white sand runs along the front of the hotel, while inland there are wildlife-rich marshes and lush hills criss-crossed with hiking trails. The hotel borders a beach and a nature reserve – it’s an ideal location for birdwatchers and walkers, as well as those looking for a laid-back beach break with plenty of good food and wine.

Ason River

1 / 5

This 11-kilometre moderate walk takes you through the beech and oak woodlands of Collados del Ason Natural Park before winding up at the largest waterfall in Cantabria, the Ason Waterfall. Starting from the mountain village of Ason, you’ll follow the river’s descent through the limestone highlands on route to Santoña and the Cantabrian Sea. It’s a real treat for potholers and nature lovers alike with the 69 metre (229 feet) single drop waterfall providing a fabulous finale to a full day spent outdoors.
