Departing from Santander, this tour takes you to the Cabezón de la Sal Sequoia Forest, a site declared a Natural Monument in 2003.

This coastal gem is celebrated for its stunning natural beauty and rich history. Upon arrival, you will explore the historic old town, which is officially recognized as a Cultural Heritage site of Cantabria, featuring well-preserved monuments and the remains of an ancient defensive wall that once protected the harbor.


The tour includes visits to significant architectural landmarks, such as the Gothic Church of Santa María de los Ángeles and the impressive Castillo del Rey. These structures offer a glimpse into the medieval past of the region and provide excellent vantage points for viewing the surrounding coastline. Your guide will share stories about the town's maritime history and its importance as a defensive stronghold, adding depth to your visit as you walk through the narrow, winding streets of the historic center.


The excursion concludes with free time to relax, enjoy a drink, or browse the local shops in San Vicente de la Barquera before returning to Santander. This final period allows you to experience the town's vibrant atmosphere at your leisure, whether you prefer to sit by the estuary or explore the local markets.
