Aventura extrema en Cantabria: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en Cantabria con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Cantabria is a green jewel on the Cantabrian coast, a territory that condenses an incredible variety of landscapes in a small space. It is a land that lives facing the sea, with a coastline of more than 200 kilometers dotted with spectacular beaches, fishing villages and imposing cliffs. But when you turn your back on the Cantabrian Sea, the landscape rises sharply towards the majestic peaks of the Picos de Europa. Cantabria is a journey to the origins of art, the cradle of the cave paintings of Altamira, the 'Sistine Chapel' of Paleolithic art. It is a region of leafy valleys and meadows, of mountain houses made of stone and wood, and of honest gastronomy that fuses the best of the sea and the mountains. Visiting Cantabria is discovering towns that seem frozen in time, breathing the pure air of its natural parks and feeling the strength of a landscape that has shaped a noble and welcoming character.

Adventures & Experiences
** Go up on the spectacular Fuente Dé cable car, which covers a difference in altitude of 753 meters in just 4 minutes, leaving you in a high lunar mountain landscape. From there, you can do simple or high mountain hiking routes.
**Picos de Europa and the Fuente Dé Cable Car
** Much more than a zoo. A naturalized space in an old open-pit iron mine where animals (elephants, bears, giraffes, gorillas...) live in semi-freedom in huge enclosures. It is traveled by car and has a cable car.
**Cabarceno Nature Park
** Explore this stretch of coast near Santander, a geological park with spectacular cliffs, arches and rock formations sculpted by the sea. Right next door, the Liencres Dunes Natural Park is a paradise of dunes and pine forests.
**Costa Quebrada and the Liencres Dunes
** Delve into the most rural and ethnographic Cantabria. Discover the landscape of green meadows dotted with 'pasiegas cabins' and try their typical products such as sobaos and quesadas.
**Pasiegos Valleys
