Close to the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris: shuttle available
On-site snack bar specialising in seafood paella
Seasonal pool, play area and market selling fresh bread and pastries

A seafood paella speciality – in Spain – by the coast in Cantabria – how splendid. Aim to spend mucho time in the snack bar of Camping Cabo De Ajo on your Spanish seaside holiday, for this is where cuisine-curious guests can sample said seafood paella as well as other treats like fried calamari and homemade pizza to have on the spacious terrace or indoors. Off site, it's about a kilometre and a half from Camping Cabo De Ajo to the spectacular beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris – and a free shuttle service runs from site to sands every day in July and August if you a) can't be faffed stirring that far on foot, or b) are laden with bucket and spade, games, towel, picnic basket and other beach-based paraphernalia. For day trips and city sightseeing, local town Ajo is 40 minutes' drive from Cantabrian capital Santander, and around an hour and 20 minutes in the other direction to Bilbao. Leisure facilities on site include an outdoor pool and a paddling pool, a playground and a games room. For the essentials, there are toilet blocks with free hot showers, a launderette and chemical disposal. The supermarket sells fresh bread and pastries, groceries, fruit and veg, and newspapers.

Local attractions

Surfing, windsurfing, and fishing are among the watery activities available at the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris, a short stroll or quick shuttle bus ride from the park. Snorkelling, canoeing and more surfing can all be arranged along the coast at Noja, about 15 kilometres to the east. The site team reckons guests in this part of Cantrabria should have a day or several in Cabárceno Nature Park, 30 kilometres from Ajo, to sightsee around its safari park setting for critters including ostriches, elephants, bears and rattlesnakes. Closer to home, the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Nature Park is a popular spot for birdwatching and more nature spotting, among its migrating birds and marine animals. Within an hour's drive are the world-famed Altamira Caves in Santillana del Mar, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Subterranean sorts can also mosey along to El Soplao, to see its stalactites, stalagmites, minerals and fossils, or to take the mining train for a complete tour. And yet another must-see in the region are the rock formations of the Ojerada, near the lighthouse of Cabo de Ajo: follow the signs to the lighthouse then turn right. The Magdalena Palace and beaches of Santander are within 40 kilometres of the site.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: None

Disliked: Not a touring site mostly for static Mobil homes. The touring field was at the bottom of the site on a muddy field. The showers and toilets left a lot to be desired so we didnt us them at all.No snack bar open told to go down to the village to get something to eat which was quite close 3k from site. When we got there nobody was serving food till 8pm ? You could see the sea from the road to the site but not from the site Would not go again

Brian J. Aug 2022

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The site is in a good position to access the nearby coastal path and about 1.5 miles to a lovely beach. The plots we stayed on are a good size, the showers and toilets are well kept and not too busy. The site is typically spanish with lots of permanent pitches which make it a friendly family orientated place. There's a bar on site that's not too expensive.

Disliked: There is no English spoken in reception, so unless you have good spanish, communication is difficult. The motorhome pitches are a bit rough with extension cords used to supply electric.
