Here are just some of the things we enjoy doing here in Cantabria every Autumn.

Totally Spain’s Guide to the Top Museums in Cantabria

Cantabria in the Summer Holidays

We loved it so much we located our travel business here (Totally Spain has been designing custom trips across Spain and Portugal since 2000!) It’s getting a bit busier here and the season is only just beginning. In addition to the surfers and fans of sailing that are starting to arrive into the bay of Santander, we also have the lecturers and students registering for the UIMP Summer university.
