Perfect Combination of Sea and Mountain

In spite of being one of the smallest Autonomous Communities in Spain, Cantabria is extremely rich in tourist destinations. Its coastline is one of the most spectacular in Europe, with pristine beaches and coves from where the vision of snow covered mountains is the norm. As a matter of fact, locals have traditionally called their land simply as The Mountain.

Santander, the capital and biggest city, boasts some of the most beautiful urban beaches in Spain as well as an active cultural life in great contrast with the tranquility and charm of the little towns that dot the Cantabrian countryside.
