Santander - Cantabrian Coast accommodation from AU$89

Check out the surfing spots at the beaches of Los Locos, Meron and Somo, or alternatively enjoy a boat trip around the coastal areas, soak up the sun on the pretty sands, or take a dip in the clear ocean waters. Explore cavernous worlds at El Pendo, Altamira, Covalanas, El Soploao, and Monte el Castillo, and enjoy a historic Roman spa at Camesa Rebolledo. Kids will enjoy Cabarceno with its brilliant zoo and nature park, and fans of the great outdoors will love the picturesque Picos de Europa National Park, where you can go hiking, biking, bird watching, and spotting a range of native wildlife.

Small Spanish villages are scattered throughout the region, each offering a taste of local life and great things to do and see. Spend your days admiring pretty churches and poking around in fascinating museums, and then pass the evening in a quaint tavern or a tapas bar. Watch a passionate and fiery flamenco show, or get your dancing shoes on and throw yourself into the action!

Eat like the locals do with many small shared dishes – there’s no need to eye up other people’s food when the table is spread with an array of mouth-watering dishes for you to dip into. Tapas really is the way forward for foodies!
