The magic of camping

West Cantabria

The west of Cantabria offers endless possibilities: the seafaring town of San Vicente de la Barquera just a few minutes away, Comillas with El Capricho de Gaudí, the incomparable cave of El Soplao or Santillana del Mar and its replica of the Caves of Altamira.

East Asturias

Some of the natural attractions you can find in the east part of Asturias are the following: Llanes and its more than 40 beaches in just over 30km of coastline. The Picos de Europa, Covadonga and Cangas de Onís, epicentre of the Spanish Reconquest. The Caves of Tito Bustillo in Ribadesella, or the Idol of Peña Tú in Llanes.

Cantabria:

In 1883, Máximo Díaz de Quijano (whose sister was the sister-in-law of Antonio López y López, the first Marquis of Comillas, and, like him, a Spanish emigrant who became rich in Latin America) commissioned Gaudí to build a summer cottage next to the palace of Sobrellano del Marqués, in the Cantabrian town of Comillas, which resulted in today’s El Capricho de Gaudí. This building (1883-1885) is a contemporary of the Casa Vicens (1883-1888), which Gaudí built in Barcelona. For this reason, the construction of El Capricho was directed on site by Cristóbal Cascante, Gaudí’s friend and classmate.

Among the many attractions that Santander has to offer, the Palacio de La Magdalena stands out. Designed by Gonzalo Bringas and Javier González de Riancho, this palace has a great historical value as it was the summer residence of the kings Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia for seventeen years, as well as being the main venue for the summer courses of the Menéndez Pelayo International University since 1933. The Palacio de La Magdalena is, without a doubt, one of the city’s biggest cultural models.

altamira
The Altamira cave is a natural cavity in the rock in which one of the most important pictorial and artistic cycles of prehistory is preserved.

San Vicente de la Barquera, capital of the municipality, is the fishing village par excellence, reflected in its traditions, customs and popular festivals.

Discovered in the early 1900s by excavations of the Florida mines. It is considered as the Sistine Chapel of geology.

Asturias:

The Picos de Europa are a mountainous massif located in the north of Spain that belongs to the central part of the Cantabrian mountain range. Even though they are not very extensive, their proximity to the sea makes it an impressive landmark regarding geographical places of interest.
The Naranjo de Bulnes, or Picu Urriellu in Asturian, stands out with its impressive vertical wall of 550m. Its highest point is Torre Cerredo with 2.650m.

The seaside village of Llanes, and its more than 40 beaches on approximately 30km of coastline is another must-see, for both lovers of the sea and of the mountains. It is located at the foot of the Sierra del Cuera, with many hiking and cycling routes and surrounded by natural charms at every step.

Llanes offers us several faces in a single village: a sailor side with an interesting historical tradition, a rural side with its many inland villages, an indiano side and an urban side.
