If next year you’re coming on holiday to Spain to go to the beach, chances are you’re headed to the Mediterranean Sea shore, from Andalusia‘s Costa del Sol up to Catalonia‘s Costa Brava, maybe the Atlantic Ocean‘s Costa de la Luz below Portugal‘s Algarve, or perhaps the Balearic or Canary Islands. But as it happens, some of the country’s most fetching beaches are found along the rugged and gorgeous north coast, along the Cantabrian Sea, also part of the Atlantic.

The topography of the region is what makes Cantabria such a special place. It’s criss-crossed by countless rivers that over the passage of time have transformed the landscape, creating valleys, gullies, canyons and waterfalls that can be enjoyed all year round.

Fought intermittently between 29 and 19 BCE, the Cantabrian Wars (also referred to as the Cantabrian and Asturian Wars, including the next-door territory of Asturias) were a decade-long series of clashes between the Roman Empire which then ruled the Iberian Peninsula and the Cantabros and Astures, tribes of Celtic origin who’d inhabited this northerly portion of the peninsula since at least the 4th century BCE. 

Gazing out over an endless horizon and the extraordinary landscapes of Infinite Cantabria is an experience in itself, don’t you think?

The appeal of this region is its variety — nothing is too far away, which means you can spend a morning at altitude and the afternoon on golden beaches or surrounded by lush countryside.
