Holiday rentals in Cantabria
Cantabria is situated along Spain’s northern coast. It’s a small region with its population making up just over one percent of Spain’s population as a whole. But despite its size, Cantabria has more than enough to offer and you’ll discover very different traditions and customs to its Asturian and Basque neighbours. There's a huge choice for your villa in Cantabria along the coast, with Santander being the capital and principle city in the region. But a villa in Cantabria can also be found in the mountains a little further inland. These mountains offer a plethora of outdoor activities, from horse riding to climbing to trekking. The Picos de Europa are perhaps the best known of the mountain national parks, and for good reason. They offer stunning vistas and countless routes for both the adventurous mountaineer and the rambling tourist. Finding a villa in Cantabria in these parts is easy – with many of the traditional villages delighted to welcome tourists to their part of the world.

More about your Cantabria holiday...
Besides the stunning coastline and the picturesque mountains, Cantabria is famous for another very important reason. It is the richest region in the world for paleolithic archaeological sites. The area is chock a bloc with cave systems and cave paintings dating back to our early ancestors. Your villa in Cantabria can be found in the smaller villages close to big sites so you can take your pick and soak up the history. Perhaps this abundance of ancient reminders is one of the reasons why Cantabria is nowadays so steeped in mythology… But one of the very best things about this northern region is its traditional cuisine. The food in these parts is wholesome, made from local produce and in abundance. It’s particularly famous for its meat stews, cheeses and apple cider and it’s all mouth-wateringly good. You’ll most likely leave this area with your belt a little tighter. So if you want to experience the real Spain, you should be looking for a villa in Cantabria where the combination of local charm, delicious cuisine and stunning vistas will provide you with a holiday experience to remember.
