Houses and flats for sale in Cantabria, Spain
Situated on the north coast of Spain, Cantabria is a uni-provincial autonomous community that forms part of"Green Spain". Nestling between Asturias and the Basque Country, it offers a spectacular landscape where the high peaks of the Picos de Europa meet the fine sandy beaches of the Cantabrian Sea.
Renowned for being home to the Altamira cave, nicknamed the "Sistine Chapel" of cave art, and for its elegant capital, Santander, the region is a paradise for lovers of nature and gastronomy. It attracts those seeking milder summers, lush green landscapes and outdoor activities such as hiking and surfing.
The Cantabrian lifestyle combines the urban sophistication of Santander with an authentic rural and maritime culture in charming villages such as Santillana del Mar or Comillas. It's an ideal destination for those wishing to invest in a second home offering both the sea and the high mountains just a few kilometres away.
The main advantages include an exceptionally diverse natural landscape, a mild oceanic climate that avoids the extreme heat of summer, a rich prehistoric and architectural heritage, a renowned gastronomy (seafood, dairy products) and a high quality of life.
On the downside, the weather is very changeable and rainy throughout the year, which explains its lush vegetation, cold seawater, and a less developed international community than on the Mediterranean coasts.
