San Vicente de la Barquera is one of the last Cantabrian towns before Asturias. Its old town is charming, with its houses and monuments. In fact, the center of this city has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest in Cantabria since 1987. Do not hesitate to visit the church of Santa María de los Ángeles, the castle and the remains of the walls. The Maza bridge, 600 meters long and with 28 arches, dates from the 16th century and was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs. The Parral bridge dates back to the 18th century. Its beautiful beaches attract many surfers. Tidal changes produce some impressive waves!

Particularly noteworthy are the Santa María de los Ángeles church, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, the castle and the remains of the city walls. The 600 meter long Maza Bridge with its 28 arches dates from the 16th century and was built on the orders of the Catholic Kings. The Parral Bridge dates from the 18th century. The sandy beaches of Fuentes, Primera de San Vicente, El Rosal, El Tostadero, Merón and Gerra are remarkable.
