Cultural, Heritage, and Art Tours

Our agencies offer the opportunity to take various art, culture, and heritage tours throughout Cantabria and the rest of northern Spain. You can visit impressive cathedrals such as those in Burgos, León, or Santiago de Compostela, among others. The latter can be reached by following the world-famous Camino de Santiago. In the past, this name referred to the route from the Pyrenees to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela; today, this route is known as the Camino Francés, and the term “Camino de Santiago” encompasses all existing Jacobean routes. It is undoubtedly the most well-known pilgrimage itinerary in Europe, attracting the highest number of pilgrims, and can be enjoyed on foot or by bicycle.

Another of the many wonders you can experience in Cantabria is the Altamira Caves, considered the most important Paleolithic discovery in the world.
