If you dream of exploring the rugged northern coast of Spain, now’s the time to book a holiday in Liencres, the gateway to the wild Cantabrian Sea.

Liencres is a coastal town that belongs to the city of Piélagos. This coastal town is strategically located 5.5 miles from Santander and offers no less than 5 miles of coastline. Take the opportunity to admire the contrasts between the intense blue of the sea dotted with the white tones of the swell that, over the centuries, has cut the coast to the shape we know today. Make sure to take in the soft greens interspersed with the golden tones of its beaches: it's a delight for all the senses!

Check out our offer of cheap trips to Liencres and discover spectacular beaches, such as Valdearenas, with its fine golden sands, or Canallave, ideal for surfing the waves. Both beaches are a part of the Dunas de Liencres Nature Park, a protected natural area located around the mouth of the River Pas. If you are looking for real majesty, make sure you catch the beach of Portio: a sandy area guarded by uniquely beautiful cliffs of great geological interest.

If you're not a fan of the sea, or decide to visit the town outside the summer season, no problem. Book one of our package deals to Liencres and use it as a base to explore the Picota mountain. Here you’ll find the archaeological remains of the castle of Pedraja, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2004. You’ll also find bunkers and other types of defensive constructions in this area, from the time of the Civil War.

Find your flight plus hotel to Liencres and enjoy a different type of holiday, and discover this hidden gem on our northern coast. Santander airport is about 8 miles away, and the city is connected to Liencres with a daily bus service. If you want to enjoy everything that Cantabria has to offer, why not rent a car? You’ll be able to explore this beautiful enclave, bathed by the waters of the Cantabrian Sea, at your own pace. You're sure to fall in love with the landscapes, the people and their customs. What are you waiting for?
