Description
More than 200 kilometres of coastline, with more than 90 beaches in fantastic natural settings and hundreds of beautiful villages with strong character. All this and much more is called the Cantabrian coast in northern Spain.
The Cantabrian Coastline has city beaches, wild beaches, quiet beaches, wonderful cliffs and rocky wild spots that make us photographers enjoy very much during long light days and nights. From the east to the west we can photograph several Natural Parks such as; Santoña Natural Park, Liencres and Costa Quebrada Natural Par, Oyambre and all of it framed always by the majestic peaks of the Picos de Europa National Park.
Along the Cantabrian Coast we travel to find lovely scenery to shoot especially charming seaside towns like San Vicente de la Barquera, Castro Urdiales, Comillas (with its famous Gaudí mansion, the “Capricho”), Suances, Noja, Santoña.
Picos de Europa National Park is the first Spanish national park, founded in 1918 when it was known as Montana de Covadonga National Park; its name was changed in 1995. The park’s high mountains are a delight for the most adventurous climbers.
For much of the year we can see snow on the highest peaks of this mountain system, making this landscape a backdrop for much of our photographic stops. We will also go deep into the mountains and visit the impressive forests, rivers and valleys of this area of the National Park.
During our coastal photo tour we shoot a wide variety of scenery that is as diverse as it is surprising. From impressive cliffs to the most unexpected beaches, from picturesque villages to the highest and most beautiful mountains of the Cantabrian coast.

Moderate.
The coastal route is very easy to follow and on some occasions we descend to some interesting beach spots with some stairs to climb.
Mornings and evenings can be cold, so warm clothes. Ideally layers that can remove or put on as we’ll either be shooting before sunrise or after sunset, in the dark, when it will be colder.
Good sturdy shoes and a raincoat or poncho.
Group bookings are available on request.
