What you can expect

On this full day excursion you will get to know the main villages of the western coast of Cantabria. Our first stop will be in San Vicente de la Barquera, a fishing and fishing village, whose port was and still is the heart of the activity of the municipality. During the tour we will also admire the privileged environment that surrounds this town located in the heart of the Oyambre Natural Park, a park that we will also visit by minibus along its coastal path; you will love its estuaries, beaches, dunes and cliffs, a real natural treasure.

Our next stop will be to visit Comillas, the only town with a modernist influence in Cantabria. You will fall in love with its heritage complex formed by Gaudí's Capricho, the Palace and Chapel of Sobrellano and the Pontifical University. Here you will have some free time for shopping or to visit El Capricho de Gaudí (optional visit), probably the most eye-catching building in Cantabria due to the colours and shapes it intermingles. You may wonder why Gaudí chose this place to place his work in a different location from his beloved Barcelona, we will find out during our visit!

We will stop in Santillana del Mar for lunch (lunch not included). Santillana is the medieval town of Cantabria par excellence, famous for its historic centre made up of medieval buildings, cobbled streets and its collegiate church of Santa Juliana, a jewel of Romanesque architecture in Cantabria. Here we will also take a walking tour to discover its medieval old town of mansions, towers and palaces that make Santillana one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.

To round off the day, we will go to the Altamira Museum to visit the Neocave, a reconstruction of the prehistoric paintings of the original Altamira cave, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 and which will take us back to the primeval age of mankind.

In short, it will be a very complete day, full of history, landscapes and walks to get to know one of the most touristic areas of Cantabria.

The tour ends back at the pick-up points.
