Why this destination is a must-visit
Ongayo, in the heart of Cantabria and only a few minutes from the coast, is the perfect starting point to combine rural tranquility with plans full of nature, culture and local flavor. Its privileged location allows you to enjoy small routes through meadows and hills overlooking the estuary of San Martin, ideal for walking or cycling leisurely.
Nearby you can discover the spectacular Redwood Forest of Cabezón, a surprising corner that seems to be taken from another continent, perfect for a family outing. If you prefer the sea, the well-known Somo Beach is less than 40 minutes away by car and is ideal both for relaxing and for learning to surf.
In the surroundings you will also find proposals for wine tourism, artisan cheese factories where you can learn about the process of making the Cantabrian product and small local museums that explain the history and traditions of the area. And if you feel like a festive atmosphere, Cantabria offers unique celebrations such as the Cantabrian Wars or the Day of the Mountain.
All this accompanied by a strong and tasty gastronomy: cocido montañés, local cheeses and bocartes that turn any holiday into a complete experience.
