Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Says grass pitch but there are flagged lines to drive on. Showers, toilets and wash up all plentiful and clean. Good hot water. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant on site but there is one available. Short walk down to the sea and nice bar down there. Short drive to Santander for the ferry. Bus into Santander about 600mt away and good place to spend a day.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Ease of booking via Pitchup. Conveniently 15 minutes from Santander ferry.

Disliked: Surprised by additional cost of electric hook up (€6) for an overnight stay of less than 18 hours. This is a tight little site with narrow roads and tight pitches. Suitable for units of less then 6 metres long.

David W. Mar 2024

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The welcome at reception. The site was well looked after. The facilities block was in good order.

Disliked: The pitches were very small and driving on site with a large caravan required some concentration because of the narrowness of the site roads which had some tight turns. The toilet waste and Grey water disposal points were at one end of the site, which made it a bit of a trek for those at the opposite end and grey water containers have to be lifted over a metre to be emptied.

Local attractions

If you’re seriously into beach and watery activities, seek out Salvé (45 minutes' drive away) for its long stretches of sands and watersports galore. If you’re more of a mooch-and-see sort, just walk or drive and keep your eyes open; at conservative estimates, Cantabria’s coast has 60 beaches. For walks inland, the nature trails of the Cabárceno Natural Park (20 minutes) are good for a half-day adventure; many visitors combine wildlife rambles with a trip to see the really wild life in the two adjacent safari parks and zoo. Though manmade and involving the sinking of several villages, the Ebro reservoir (an hour) has become a beauty spot and destination for hikers, boat cruisers and windsurfers. Sometimes dismissed as a busy port, Santander (20 minutes) has a calming seafront park and popular beaches; surfers head to Sardinero when the waves are right, sightseers to the striking Catedral de la Asunción and snackers to the bars and eateries dishing up fresh seafood. An hour and 15 minutes away, Bilbao is worth the trip for its Guggenheim Museum (and the building it's housed in), its two museums devoted to Basque culture and history, and the cliffs and beach just outside at Getxo.
