Sand, Sea & Sangria<br />
Experience the splendor of Northern Spain with a tour to the Cantabrian<br />
coastline, where beautiful beaches, soaring mountains and peaceful fishing<br />
villages combine to provide an interesting and relaxing holiday.<br />
Day 1-2 After our local pick-ups we travel to<br />
Portsmouth to catch our overnight ferry to<br />
Santander. We arrive in Santander late<br />
afternoon the following day and travel the<br />
short distance to our hotel in Suances.<br />
Day 3 Today we have a free day to enjoy our<br />
local resort. Suances is a beautiful town with<br />
wonderful sandy beaches around Dichoso<br />
Point, a natural harbour with cliffs. It has a rich<br />
history dating back to Roman times when it<br />
was known as Portus Blendium. Now a major<br />
tourist town, it still retains its love of fishing and<br />
enjoys an appetite for gastronomy.<br />
Day 4 Today we drive to Bilbao. You could visit<br />
the Guggenheim Museum, the old quarter<br />
and Gothic cathedral. After lunch, travel back<br />
towards Santander, visiting the coastal villages<br />
of Laredo and Castro Urdiales. Castro Urdiales<br />
has all the charm of a small seafaring and<br />
fishing village with a rich tradition and tourist<br />
atmosphere, aided by its beaches.<br />
Day 5 Your choice today you can either spend<br />
more time at your hotel or by the nearby<br />
beach or join us on an optional day trip. Our<br />
optional trip is a spectacular drive through the<br />
Picos de Europa National Park, you will see<br />
some of Spain’s most striking mountains. Visit<br />
the Monasterio de Santo Toribio, near Potes,<br />
where a relic of Christ’s cross is believed to be<br />
kept. At nearby Fuente Dé, take a ride on<br />
the cable car for unforgettable views (local<br />
charges will apply).<br />
Day 6 We visit Santander and see the Virgen<br />
de la Asunción Cathedral and the Sardinero<br />
beach. You could catch the tourist train around<br />
the Parque de la Magdalena in the grounds of<br />
the Real Palacio de la Magdalena (Magdalena<br />
Royal Palace) or maybe visit the Cabo Mayor<br />
lighthouse, built in 1839 overlooking the sea.<br />
Day 7-8 We have a free morning to relax<br />
before we start our journey back. We travel<br />
back to Santander and catch our overnight<br />
ferry back to Portsmouth.<br />
