Highlights
Costa Quebrada is a real geological catalogue, so its candidacy as a Geopark has been accepted, a figure created by UNESCO in 2015, in which not only its natural heritage is valued, but also, its cultural heritage has been taken into account. Our tour will take place over 8 kilometers, from Covachos Beach, through La Cubeta in the Arnía, the most photographed and recognizable abrasion platform on the Costa Quebrada; we will see the Pedrondo pit, La Baselga, the inlet of El Portío, Cerrías beach and Somocuevas beach. An exciting journey along the coast, which will make us discover an unrivalled natural environment. IMPORTANT : Comfortable and closed shoes, type sneakers or trekking and long pants are necessary to avoid chafing with the vegetation. Carry water to hydrate during the tour.

About Cantabria
Cantabria is a green region of northern Spain between the sea and the Picos de Europa, with prehistoric caves, fishing ports and mountain valleys.
Cantabria is a narrow strip of northern Spain squeezed between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains, with the Picos de Europa rising in the south-west. Its capital, Santander, has a sweep of beaches and the Magdalena Palace on a peninsula, and the coast to either side is cut with estuaries, cliffs and fishing ports such as Laredo, Santoña and Castro Urdiales.
