Fantastic holiday in Northern Spain
This was a completely new part of Spain for us which we have wanted to explore for a while and it did not disappoint. We started in Bilbao and travelled to various places along the way to Santiago, touring inland and along the coast and ending in the Picos Europas before heading back to Bilbao. The hotels were great, scenery was stunning and the food was fantastic. We had an amazing time.

Rating for tour operator:I discovered Casa Cantabricas on line whilst searching for a touring route for Northern Spain. I cannot fault the service we received. It all felt very personal and all the hotel bookings and directions went smoothly. The chosen hotels were perfect and much better than we could ever have hoped to find ourselves. We would certainly use again and would highly recommend to others.
Thank you Elaine for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed discovering Northern Spain with all its hidden gems, its superb scenery and fantastic food.
Thanks again for your kind words, it's great to see our work is appreciated!

Great holiday in Northern Spain
Completely new part of Spain for us. We started in Bilbao and ended in Santiago and toured along the coast and explored the Picos Europas in between. Hotels were great, scenery was amazing and food was fantastic. We had a ball.

Rating for tour operator:Heard about Casa Cantabricas from a friend who had done the same route a few years ago. Everything felt personal and all the bookings and directions went smoothly. The chosen hotels and stopping points were perfect and much better than we could ever have hoped to find ourselves. Would certainly use again and would happily recommend to others.
Thank you Anne, we're really pleased you had such a good holiday and enjoyed discovering the North of Spain, it is indeed great!
Thank you for your kind words, it's great to see all our work and effort are appreciated.
It was well organised and we were well carred for.
A driving tour of Northern Spain and Portugal over 16 days via Portsmouth-Santander Car Ferry, between 14th to 1st July. The hotels and holiday information were excellent and we enjoyed all the places we visited. (The sea was a little cold for swimming, though)

Rating for tour operator:Very helpful on the phone in booking the tour which included a couple of days out to see friends in Porto. Endless patience when we wanted to make changes after booking. Well planned and well organised!
Thank you Tom for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your holiday discovering Northern Spain and Northern Portugal.
Thank you for your very kind comments. We're happy to make adjustments whenever they are needed.
Road trip through the Western Pyrenees
Travelling East from Bilbao we enjoyed a range of fabulous scenery and the different activities it engendered: walking in the mountains, paddling in the sea, driving through desert landscapes and meandering through interesting villages in search of a welcome drink. The route was expertly mapped out with all the information we could possibly need and the choice of hotels excellent: each one offering something very different but all the hosts ...

The route was expertly mapped out with all the information we could possibly need and the choice of hotels excellent: each one offering something very different but all the hosts welcoming and keen to share their knowledge of the local area (and usually in English)
Rating for tour operator:We travelled with Casas Cantabricas last year and were so impressed we returned to them. From the very first enquiry they provided speedy responses that exactly matched our needs. Always friendly both by email and on the phone, their knowledge of the area and the hotel owners ensures an enjoyable and trouble free holiday - with a surprise as you move from hotel to hotel - no two quite the same and each one excellent in its own way. The Vamoos App with directions and all the information you need makes planning just what to see very easy. Already wondering what we can ask them to organise on future occasions.
Thank you Elaine and Gordon, we're very happy to see you discovered the beauty and the diversity the Western Pyrenees have to offer.
Thank you again for your very kind words. They make all our work worthwhile!
We look forward to organising new holidays for you to discover new regions of the Iberian Peninsula in the future.
City, Castle, Cobbles
A fantastic holiday in 3 different areas. Bilbao was a nice city for a bit of culture. The castle hotel was more than we could have hoped for. The cobbled streets of Santillana del Mare were picturesque. All the recommended sights were good suggestions.A perfect holiday, off the beaten track.

Rating for tour operator:Casas Cantabrica were very helpful throughout . We were able to extend our car hire period, lots of information, including road maps, guide books were sent as soon as we had booked, road closures and alternative routes were advised before we left. We had absolute confidence that they would be available if we should need them.
Thanks Louise, sounds like you had a great time and really made the most out of the contrasts northern Spain has to offer!
And glad to hear that all our efforts are appreciated - music to our ears!
