Cantabria Tourism

Today, we travel back to a time of visionary artists, dreamlike architects, and buildings capable of stirring emotions as though they were living works of art. A time when Cantabria fell under the spell of one of Europe’s most fascinating artistic movements: Art Nouveau. Because when we think of Art Nouveau in Cantabria, one image inevitably comes to mind. The impossible silhouette of Gaudí’s El Capricho in Comillas. Its towers covered in ceramic tiles. Its green and golden sunflowers gleaming beneath the Cantabrian rain. Its curved forms in conversation with nature itself. But Cantabria’s Art Nouveau legacy stretches far beyond that. Today, in celebration of World Art Nouveau Day, we journey through an elegant and artistic Cantabria. A land where iron, stone, and ceramics were transformed into beauty. A journey through seaside towns, casinos facing the sea, historic markets, and buildings that still seem to whisper stories from the past.

Welcome to this audio journey through a land where the sea embraces the mountains, where mist slowly drifts through the valleys and where every corner seems to hold an ancient story waiting to be told. Today we begin a very special route. Seven days to discover Cantabria through twenty-one experiences destined to remain forever in the memory. A journey that will take us from cities open to the Cantabrian Sea to peaks that touch the sky, passing through medieval villages, prehistoric caves, ancestral flavours and breathtaking landscapes. Prepare to explore Cantabria as though opening an old travel journal infused with sea salt, wet grass and ancient wood.

Today, we invite you to experience Cantabria in a completely different way. We’re not going to explore this land through what we see, but through something far more intimate, more evocative… the sense of smell. Because some places are not only seen — they are breathed in. And Cantabria is undoubtedly one of them. So join us on this sensory journey through the aromas of Cantabria.

Today, we’re opening a different kind of door. This isn’t just a conversation about gastronomy, but about everything happening behind it. The hidden backstage where tradition and science come together to shape some of Cantabria’s most iconic flavours. Because a sobao is far more than a sweet pastry. A cheese is much more than transformed milk. And orujo… is far more than a spirit. They are living processes. They are landscape, heritage and history… but also chemistry.

Today, we bring you a story wrapped in mystery, art and legend. A tale that takes us to the south of Cantabria, to the heart of the Valderredible valley, where Romanesque stone holds secrets that still intrigue archaeologists and historians to this day. Get ready, because we are about to travel through centuries, symbols, landscapes and routes that invite you to discover Cantabria in a truly unique way. Today, we explore the enigma of the pilgrim of 1231. Will you join us?

Today, I’d like to suggest something very simple: close your eyes and imagine your next trip if you could arrive at your destination in the blink of an eye. What if, instead of wasting time on endless journeys, you could start enjoying your getaway almost as soon as you land? Well, that’s exactly what it feels like to fly to Cantabria. In this episode, we’re going to talk about what it means to have Cantabria just a flight away. I won’t be discussing routes or departure points, because what truly matters is not the list of cities, but the advantages and the sensations that come with being able to fly directly to our region. Get ready—the journey begins now.

Welcome to the Cantabria tourism podcast channel, where it’s not only stories that take flight, but also thousands of wings that cross our skies with the arrival of spring. March awakens in Cantabria like a green whisper. The meadows regain their brightness, the forests stretch beneath the soft Atlantic light and, across marshes, cliffs and mountains, one of the most fascinating natural spectacles of the year begins: birdwatching.

Today, we invite you to dive into the magic of St. John's Eve, when fire becomes a symbol of renewal, wishes are written on paper, and the night sky fills with hope. Here in Cantabria, we celebrate this night with deep-rooted tradition—surrounded by nature, music, legends, and community.

Today, we’re taking you deep into a magical and unique corner of our region: Liébana. A place where stunning nature, profound spirituality, vibrant culture, and traditional gastronomy blend together to create an experience that touches all the senses.

Hello and welcome to another episode from the Cantabria Tourism podcast channel. Our quest to tour Cantabria brings us to the heights in today’s episode. Although most of our visitors and friends know very well that our region is full of mountain peaks, we haven’t talked about them enough for them to be really known, or even recognised, beyond the world of mountain lovers. Cantabria actually boasts a total of 76 peaks over 2,000 metres high, the pillars that underpin the sky of our Cantabria Infinita.
