Embark on this enriching excursion from Santander, where you will uncover the traditional crafting of Santoña's renowned anchovies through a visit to a local factory in this charming coastal village. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to wander the historic heart of Santoña, and if you wish, experience a boat ride on the bay.

Details of the Day Trip

At the agreed time, a representative will collect you from your accommodation in Santander to commence your journey to the scenic village of Santoña. A 45-minute drive will lead us to this celebrated fishing community along the Cantabrian coastline.

Upon arrival in Santoña, we will tour an anchovy factory known as Conservas Emilia, where you'll observe the meticulous production process of this specialty delicacy. Insights into the significance of the food preserves sector for the locality and its development through the twentieth century will be shared along the way.

Next, we will move towards the port of Santoña, where you may choose to embark on a boat tour around the bay. This 1 hour and 20 minutes cruise will offer you stunning coastal vistas and a chance to appreciate the Santoña marshes, a protected area teeming with migratory birds, captivating visitors every year. If sailing isn’t your preference, feel free to explore the town at your leisure.

On our return to the port, we will delve deeper into Santoña's charm, wandering past the quaint fishermen's homes while learning about the village’s history, which has become a significant destination for both tourists and fishing enthusiasts in Cantabria.

To round off this insightful 4-hour excursion, we will return to the heart of Cantabria, concluding the journey at the marina in Santander.
