Natural surroundings

Located in Escalante, also known as the "Santillana del Mar de Trasmiera", this small village located in the eastern part of Cantabria of medieval origin captivates us with its large houses that conserve their mountain style. On the shores of the marshes of Santoña and catalogued as a natural park, the whole area maintains its ecosystem intact, located just 3km from one of the best beaches in Cantabria, the kilometre-long beach of Berria, chosen by surf lovers as one of their favourite beaches par excellence, where they go throughout the year, especially suitable for beginners.

The Natural Park of the Marshes of Santoña, Victoria and Joyel, with more than 4,000 hectares of high ecological value, is considered one of the most biologically diverse enclaves in Spain, with more than 20,000 birds of 120 different species, small mammals and a unique flora. A good number of them come from Northern Europe and choose Santoña to spend a much milder winter than in their countries of origin. Spring and autumn are the migratory seasons, making this the ideal time to observe seabirds. Among other species, you will be able to see great and small loons, red-necked grebes, black-faced goose barnacles, common scoters, medium-sized serins and common razorbills.

It is only 35 km from Santander, 6 km from Santoña, a lively town all year round, especially at weekends and in summer, and 65 km from Bilbao and its international airport.

Escalante is a discreet village that remains authentic, well known locally for its gastronomic appeal. Lovers of tranquillity and gastronomy will find their special Eden here, where they can enjoy the famous anchovies from Santoña, sardine skewers, as well as other famous Cantabrian dishes, such as cocido montañés (Cantabrian stew).
