Cantabria is a picturesque town on the coast that is dotted with stunning beaches, but none more wonderful than the Beach of San Vicente de la Barquera. Lying under the backdrop of the Picos de Europa Mountains, the beach is located near an old town surrounded by churches and a magnificent fishing port.

The area is known for its maritime tradition, and visitors can explore the beautiful Church of Santa Maria de Los Angeles in between sun bathing and cooling down in the clear water. Another beautiful structure that visitors can enjoy gazing at while relaxing on the beach is the 32-arch stone Maza Bridge.
