TOUR DESCRIPTION
We will depart at 9:00 a.m. for Santoña, one of Cantabria's primary fishing villages and the heart of the region's anchovy industry. There, we will visit one of the traditional local factories, Conservas Emilia, to discover the meticulous process behind anchovy production. You will be amazed by the amount of manual labor involved in crafting this renowned delicacy. While in Santoña, we will also enjoy a brief driving tour around the port, the seafront promenade, and take in the stunning views of the bay.
Our next stop will be Bodegas Vidular, a family-run winery that produces some of the finest white wines in the region. You will enjoy a walk through their vineyards while learning about the wine production process. Naturally, the visit will conclude with a tasting of their wines, accompanied by a small snack.
We will then journey to the picturesque Pasiego Valleys, where we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (not included). Afterward, we will take a panoramic drive through the valley, culminating at the Mirador de la Braguía, where you can admire breathtaking views of the Cantabrian Mountains. The scenery will be truly spectacular!
Finally, we will head to Selaya to visit the largest Sobaos and Quesadas factory in the region, Sobaos Joselín. Here, you will tour the facilities and explore their "Sobao and Quesada Museum." To top off this experience, we will enjoy a guided tasting of their renowned products.
After this enriching and diverse day, we will begin our return journey to Santander, where we will arrive around 6:30 p.m.
