Bordering the Bay of Biscay and backed by the majestic Picos de Europa, the regions of Cantabria and Asturias offer some of the most breathtaking landscapes in northern Spain. From dramatic coastlines and emerald-green valleys to fishing villages and prehistoric caves, this corner of Spain is ideal for travellers seeking nature, culture, and authentic local traditions. With our tailor-made tours, you can explore at your own rhythm, discovering both iconic highlights and off-the-beaten-path gems.
History and deep-rooted heritage
These regions are celebrated for their deep-rooted heritage — Romanesque monasteries, prehistoric cave art, medieval mountain towns, and centuries-old fishing ports that feel frozen in time. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of Santander, the historic charm of Oviedo, the colourful harbour of Cudillero, or the natural splendour of Cangas de Onís, we can create a personalised journey that matches your interests.
Add to this the outstanding gastronomy — fresh seafood, artisan cheeses, traditional stews, and award-winning cider — and you have the perfect recipe for an unforgettable experience.
Nature enthusiasts
Cantabria and Asturias are havens for outdoor lovers. Tailored tours can include hiking in the Picos de Europa, coastal walks along dramatic cliffs, or visits to hidden beaches accessible only by small roads or footpaths. Combine scenic routes with stops at local cider houses, mountain villages, pristine viewpoints, or UNESCO World Heritage Sites to craft a richly rewarding and deeply authentic day.
Explore the elegant seaside city of Santander, including the Magdalena Peninsula, Sardinero beaches, and the striking Centro Botín. Combine the visit with charming coastal towns such as Santillana del Mar — often called “the town of three lies” — and the prehistoric wonder of the Altamira Caves (replicas showcasing some of the world’s oldest cave art).
A paradise for nature enthusiasts. Travel through Potes, the medieval heart of Liébana Valley, ascend to the mountains via the Fuente Dé cable car, or hike gentle scenic trails surrounded by dramatic peaks. Ideal for travellers wanting breathtaking landscapes and fresh mountain air.
Discover Oviedo, known for its cathedral, historic old town, and iconic Pre-Romanesque churches like Santa María del Naranco. Continue to the vibrant coastal city of Gijón, where the Cimavilla quarter, ocean views, and cider bars create a lively Asturian atmosphere. A perfect blend of culture, history, and local life.
Visit the lush countryside around Villaviciosa or Nava, where Asturias’ famous cider (sidra) is produced. Tour traditional cider houses, learn the art of escanciar (pouring cider from height), and enjoy rustic dishes paired with local varieties. Add a scenic village such as Lastres or Tazones for a perfect rural day.
From Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera in Cantabria to Cudillero, Llanes, or Ribadesella in Asturias, the northern coastline is full of postcard-worthy towns. Wander through colourful harbours, explore sandy coves, and enjoy fresh fish and seafood in family-run restaurants overlooking the sea.
