Discover the charming fishing village of Santoña on this morning excursion. Nestled within its stunning bay, surrounded by the Santoña, Vitoria, and Joel Marshes Natural Park and the majestic Mount Buciero, Santoña offers much more than its renowned anchovy canning industry—it’s a destination that will captivate any visitor.

​

As part of this tour, you’ll visit Conservas Emilia, one of the area’s leading anchovy factories,  and uncover the secrets behind the traditional production process. You’ll be amazed by the extensive manual work involved in crafting these world-famous anchovies.

​

The adventure continues with a scenic boat ride through the bay of Santoña, heading towards the Faro del Caballo (Lighthouse). This one-hour excursion will provide breathtaking views of La Salvé Beach in Laredo and the towering cliffs of Monte Buciero from the sea.

​

To conclude the experience, we will take a brief drive along the port and promenade, making our way to the Fort of San Martín, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of the sea promenade of Santoña.
