Noja

The village of Noja is a natural paradise with its pristine beaches and inviting verdant mountains, as well as extensive marshes with rich fauna and flora.

During your holidays in Noja, located between the Quejo estuary and the tip of the El Bresco headland, you can stroll along 4.5 miles of rugged coast. The Playa de Tregandín and Playa de Ris beaches, surrounded by rocks and low-lying vegetation, are a window to the chilled waters of the Cantabrian Sea. The more daring visitors are sure to enjoy making the most of them to catch some waves and practise other water sports.

Noja is also the perfect destination for lovers of hiking and nature. The idyllic coastal route runs along a road that separates the beaches of Tregandín and Ris, a thick forest of oaks with impressive views of the coastline. If you book one of our cheap trips to Noja, you can follow a section of the Camino de Santiago along the coastline that crosses the village's beach.

In the area there are wetlands of great ecological value, such as the natural reserve of the marshes of Santoña and Noja, where you can observe up to 120 different species of aquatic birds. If you’re lucky, you might even see a gato montés wild cat or a corzo deer, both animals that inhabit the marshes.

You should also make sure you visit the various mansions and estates that make up the rich architectural heritage of Noja. The palatial estate of the Marquis of Albaicín, an example of the typical neomontañés style and built in 1916, is home to cultural activities in the summer. Other estates of interest are the Casa Palacio de Velasco, the Casa Palacio del Carmen, the Casona de la Torre and the Casona del Capitán Vereno.

The Roman bridge that guards the marshes of Las Helgueras is a particularly beautiful sight that is well worth a visit. The old shrines also have a certain charm: San Juan de Ris, San Nicolás and San Pedruco. The parish church of Noja which lies on the plains, dating from the 17th century, is another good example of the town’s architecture.
