A holiday in Somo, on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea, has everything you need: from its tasty cuisine to its artisan tradition, be ready to be impressed!

Somo is a town in Ribamontán al Mar. It’s not the only town there, as you’ll also find Loredo, Langre and Suesa, among others, making for a varied, fun-filled stay. No wonder, then, that this is one of the main tourist destinations in Cantabria. There are lots of cheap trips to Somo available for you to explore everything the small town has to offer.

Start your trip with a day out along the coast of this charming town with fewer than a thousand inhabitants. Somo beach, with its fine, golden sands, exposed to the wind and with strong waves are the perfect spot for surf lovers. If you're looking for something quieter, El Puntal beach is one of the quietest in Cantabria, sheltered by the bay of Santander. Nearby you’ll find the Puntal Dunes and Estuary of Miera Special Conservation Area, with all its rich biodiversity.

In the evening, you can take a stroll along the Somo promenade, which offers magnificent views of the bay, ideal for taking in the emblematic Magdalena Palace in the distance, and the changing landscape, bathed in the light of the sunset. Book one of our package deals to Somo, and treat yourself to a relaxing break. You’ll want to set aside part of your budget to enjoy the local cuisine, with their famous grilled fish from the icy waters of the Cantabrian Sea. You can also pick up a souvenir thanks to the local tradition of craftsmanship, as most of the members of the region’s ceramicists can be found here.

Santander will be the first stop on your trip to Somo. From the region’s capital, there are buses to Santoña that stop in Somo. If you’re interested in other options to reach your destination, you’ll be glad to know there are boat trips in the bay of Santander that stop in Somo. Take in the coastline on a relaxing boat ride.
