The tiny autonomous region of Cantabria in northern Spain is an ideal location to relax and unwind, and is never out of season for a memorable sojourn to Cantabria.

It beckons you with the magical web spun around the vast expanse of spectacular mountains bedecked with flower-filled meadows to lush green valleys and dense forests teeming with a rich wildlife of wolves and bears.

The mesmerizing and timeless charm of the capital city of Santander, with its ferry terminal, is the erstwhile summer retreat of the Spanish Royals, draws tourists from far and wide.

It is a treasure trove of medieval villages, ancient monuments, regal architectural gems and well-preserved prehistoric cave paintings.

The magical spell cast by the pristine beaches, innumerable historic monuments done up in rich overtones, the impressive Picos de Europa mountain ranges with picturesque glacial lakes, and the cosmopolitan seaside resorts are exhilarating enough to make a truly memorable visit.
