Posada de Ongayo: rural charm a stone's throw from the Cantabrian Sea
In the quiet village of Ongayo, very close to Suances, the Posada de Ongayo is the perfect refuge to unwind and breathe nature. Surrounded by green meadows, it invites you to walk or cycle along the path that connects with Cortiguera, Hinojedo or the coast, combining calm and proximity to the sea.
Its location also allows you to discover emblematic places such as the Altamira Caves and other essential corners of Cantabria, combining culture, landscape and tradition in every holiday.
The rooms, decorated with an original and careful style, have private bathroom, television and free Wi-Fi. The garden, terrace and private car park complete a comfortable and relaxing stay.
Guests highlight the family atmosphere, the close attention and the design of each room. If you are looking for authenticity and well-being, this is where your next holiday begins.
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.
Suances is one of those coastal towns in northern Spain that perfectly blends dramatic landscapes, rich history and authentic seaside charm. Located in Cantabria, at the mouth of the Saja and Besaya rivers, Suances is built around the beautiful San Martín de la Arena estuary, a natural harbour once linked to the ancient Roman Portus Blendium. Today, it’s a favourite destination for families and couples looking for wild beaches, stunning sunsets and genuine local flavour on Spain’s Green Coast.
Make sure you visit:
- Punta del Dichoso, a spectacular headland with breathtaking views over the Cantabrian Sea and the surrounding cliffs.
- The San Martín de la Arena estuary, the heart of Suances, perfect for scenic walks and understanding the town’s maritime past.
- The Hermitage of El Carmen, closely linked to the town’s fishing traditions and summer celebrations.
- Santo Domingo Convent in Cortiguera, located near possible medieval and Roman remains.
- The Tower of the Barreda family, a reminder of Suances’ defensive past.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- La Concha Beach: around 1 km long, wide and family-friendly, ideal for relaxed beach days.
- Los Locos Beach: famous for surfing, with strong waves and a lively atmosphere.
- La Ribera and La Riberuca: smaller, sheltered beaches near the estuary, great for children.
- Tagle Beach: more natural and open, perfect for peaceful walks and unforgettable sunsets.
- La Tablía: a small cove with a wilder feel, ideal if you prefer quieter spots.
Family-friendly activities:
- Spend the day building sandcastles and paddling at La Concha Beach
- Take a scenic walk along the cliffs of Punta del Dichoso at sunset.
- Try a beginner-friendly surf lesson at Los Locos Beach.
- Enjoy ice creams and evening strolls along the seafront during the summer festivities.
- Experience the Fiesta del Carmen in July, with its traditional maritime procession along the estuary.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Fresh Cantabrian fish and seafood, straight from the local waters.
- Sorropotún (marmita de bonito), a traditional tuna stew typical of the region.
- Rabas (fried squid), a classic northern Spain favourite.
- Cantabrian cheeses, full of flavour and perfect to end a meal.
- Local desserts made with fresh dairy products from the region.

Las habitaciones no tienen ni un simple ventilador. Por mucho que abras las ventanas no da aire porque si encima dejas la persiana subida te entra toda la luz de las farolas de fuera. Al entrar huele a humedad y las paredes tienen humedad. Te comen los mosquitos, yo acabé llena de picaduras por todo el cuerpo sin poder dormir bien porque no paraban de picarme. Poner unas simples mosquitera para evitar la entrada tanto de moscas como de mosquitos no iría mal. Desde las cuatro de la mañana se escucha un gallo cantar, entiendo que es normal porque estás cerca del campo. Desayuno muy pobre. Y se escucha a los vecinos de las habitaciones que tengas cerca.

Sitio espectacular. Descanso y tranquilidad. Nos ha encantado. Recomendable al 100%.
Bring mosquito repellent; it's not the accommodation's fault, but there are quite a lot of them.
Llevar repelente para mosquitos, no es cosa del alojamiento pero hay bastantes.

Lloc rural encantador, una mica enmig del no-res, ideal per desconectar, amb aparcament just allà mateix, a prop de Suances i altres poblacions per fer turisme.
The rooms are poorly maintained, everything is quite old, the bathroom door is swollen and doesn't close.
After breakfast, which is very simple, basic and the same every day, there are no services available at all, not even the possibility to buy a bottle of water.
Falta manteniment de les habitacions, està bastant vell, porta del wc reinflada i no tanca.
Després de l' esmorzar, molt senzill, bàsic i cada dia igual et quedes sense cap servei, ni poder comprar una aigua.

Muy buena ubicación, a 5 minutillos de Suances, habitación con cama y almohada cómodas, tiene parking privado, a la entrada tiene una zona de terraza con varias mesas en las que poder desayunar (desayuno incluido ) o comer/tomar algo si lo llevas tú mismo
More variety at breakfast would be nice. We stayed for 5 days and didn't need our room cleaned at any point, but when we asked for a change of towels halfway through our stay, the lady in charge didn’t seem too pleased about it...
Más variedad en el desayuno. Nos alojamos 5 días, no necesitamos que nos hicieran la habitación en ningún momento y aunque les pedimos un cambio de toallas a mitad de la estancia a la señora encargada de ello no la hizo mucha gracia...

Hicieron la cama y la habitación los días que estuvimos.
Frankly, nothing positive. The owner’s attitude was extremely cold and unfriendly from the moment we arrived. The room had gloomy lighting, smelled damp, and the cleanliness could have been much better. The breakfast was miserable—flies buzzing around the food, shared containers that weren’t hygienic, nothing of good quality…
The location is rather dismal, as there’s literally nothing to do and you need to drive absolutely everywhere.
We arrived at 1:30pm and had to wait half an hour because check-in was at 2pm. It made no sense, considering they didn’t go into the room they eventually gave us during that half hour. Only one pillow per bed, the mattress was hard…
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it and I certainly wouldn’t go back.
Francamente nada positivo. El trato de la dueña fue súper seco y borde desde nuestra llegada. La habitación con una iluminación tétrica, olor a humedad, limpieza mejorable. El desayuno era lamentable, moscas rondando la comida, botes comunes poco higiénicos, sin productos de calidad…
La ubicación bastante triste, ya que literalmente no hay nada que hacer, has de coger el coche para absolutamente cualquier cosa.
Llegamos a las 13:30 y nos tuvimos que esperar media hora porque el check in era a las 14. Carece de sentido teniendo en cuenta que en esa media hora no entraron en la habitación que finalmente nos dieron. Una sola almohada por cama, colchón duro…
De verdad que no lo recomendaría y mucho menos volvería.

Las instalaciones, la ubicación, el desayuno
We booked two rooms and one of them smelled strongly of damp and pipes. They only gave us a small hand soap on the first day, which ran out, and we would have liked them to replace it.
Reservamos dos habitaciones y una de ellas olía muchísimo a humedad y a tuberías, nos dejaron solo un jabón pequeñito de manos el primer día, que se nos gastó y nos hubiera gustado que lo repusieran

La ubicación es muy buena y los alrededores están bien
Very small rooms. The newly decorated ones are done with very poor quality, bad soundproofing, and the cleanliness could be much better - there were ants on the floor and on the duvet.
Breakfast is very basic, it's not a plus point at this accommodation. It used to be years ago when it was a charming inn.
Habitaciones muy pequeñas. Las nuevas decoradas con muy mala calidad, mal aislamiento acústico y limpieza bastante mejorable, habían hormigas en el suelo y en el edredón .
El desayuno muy básico, no es un plus en este alojamiento. Si lo fue hace años cuando era posada con encanto

En la habitación había un olor insoportable a tubería fétida, nos costó un triunfo que nos cambiasen a otra habitación, siendo está de 1'35 para dos personas, imposible moverse dentro de la habitación, no han limpiado ni cambiado las toallas, había polvo en la habitación, y los armarios no se podían abrir, por la humedad, ha sido una odisea

The rooms smell damp no matter if you use an air freshener or keep the window open all the time. On top of that, there was a leak above the bed and the cleaning was terrible — they barely even made the bed.
las habitaciones huelen a humedad sin importar que se ponga un ambientador o esté la ventana siempre abierta, además de que había una gotera encima de la cama, y la limpieza pésima, hacían la cama de milagro

The only thing I would improve about the accommodation is the coffee. Also, you need to drive for anything, as there’s nothing nearby where you can buy something or go for a meal within walking distance.
Del alojamiento solo mejoraría el café y lo único es que para cualquier cosa tienes que ir en coche ya que no hay nada cerca para comprar o comer y poder ir paseando

La persona encargada ha sido muy amable. La habitación amplia y agradable y la ubicación buena porque estás cerca en coche de Suances, Santillana etc
It was a bit cold; they only put the heating on for one or two hours and that's really not enough. I was very cold. There was just a thin cover on the bed and a blanket in the wardrobe.
Breakfast could be much better. It's true that the price is very cheap, but maybe they should put the price up by €10 per room and offer a higher quality breakfast.
Hace un poco de frio, ponen una o dos horas la calefacción y es muy poco. Yo pasé mucho frío. Solo había una colcha fina en la cama y una manta en el armario.
El desayuno muy mejorable. Es cierto que el precio es muy económico pero quizá debería subir 10 € por habitación y ofrecer un desayuno de mas calidad.
