The town centre is a 5 minute walk from Ris beach. The large main square comes alive in the evening with everyone walking, talking, drinking and eating. The restaurants and bars that surround the square all serving Pintxos; wherever you go in Noja you will be confronted by this array of food across the top of bars – the most common of which are slices of tortilla.

There is a golf course in town to which we can offer you special rates - make sure you let us know.

A few 100 meters from the town square is Trengandín beach. The beach is not surfable but is incredible to behold. When the tide is out large sharp black prehistoric rocks appear and point up to the sky, forming an incredible lunar like landscape with numerous pools and ponds. Sunset here is not to be missed.

During the day this beaches crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling to explore the the fascinating underwater world

Amazingly a third of Cantabria belong to a park or a reserve – with dense forests, beaches surrounded by meadows, cliffs of outstanding beauty, and hills and snowcapped mountains.

The Picos de Europa National Park represents one of the most beautiful mountain ranges on the Spanish peninsula – just watch out for the bears!

Noja’s neighbouring towns are well worth the trip, and the Spanish motorways are great to drive on.

Both Santander and Bilboa airport have very helpful tourist boards that will fill you in on the whole region – so grab some of their literature while you are there.

Bilbao

Bilbao is less than an hour away and is a buzzing cultural capital. The flagship of the town is the Guggenheim Museum. The Museum sits on the riverbank and has rejuvenated the entire area. Whats great is the contrast between old and new; the old town and its attractive streets house designer clothing stores, while the new town has an elegant European feel to it.

There are lots of bars in the old town and it’s undoubtedly the place for a few drinks and an evening meal…

Athletico Bilbao is the city’s much loved football team – they are one of the top teams and have won the Spanish league 8 times. Fixtures can be found here http://www.soccer-spain.com/

Santander

What great surroundings for a city – striking cliffs and superb beaches! Santander is an important Spanish port with a very relaxed vibe.

The town has 3 beautiful beaches and an old quarter with an excellent collection of restaurants and bars, where old wine warehouses have been converted into some of the region’s best tapas venues.
