Where to stay in Cantabria

Santillana del Mar. This is where we have the most places. The whole town is a historic-artistic site, with stone houses from the 14th to the 18th century and the Romanesque collegiate church of Santa Juliana. The Altamira cave, closed to the public, is in the municipality; you can visit its replica at the Altamira Museum. A branch of the Camino de Santiago del Norte passes through.

Santander. The capital. A good fit if you arrive by air or want a base with more services and public transport.

San Vicente de la Barquera. On the western coast, about 58 km from Santander. Almost the whole municipality lies within the Oyambre natural park, with beaches such as Oyambre and Merón, and the Picos de Europa in the background. A good fit if you want beach and nature.
