Villas along the Cantabrian coast
Santander, the regional capital, sets the tone with its seafront, the Magdalena peninsula and a long history as a summer retreat. To the west, Comillas and Santillana del Mar keep their old stone streets, and San Vicente de la Barquera looks towards the Picos de Europa. Castro Urdiales lies to the east, close to the Basque Country.
The homes that suit this landscape are restored stone manor houses, country houses with walled gardens and contemporary villas set into the meadows. Look at orientation, how the house copes with rain, and whether its views are protected.
