Suances, one of the top towns in Cantabria, is not to be missed.
On the northern coast of Spain, in the heart of Cantabria, lies the town of Suances.
Suances is one of the main tourist destinations in Cantabria for several reasons. We might say that Suances is not the best place for any one thing, but it is definitely the most well-rounded in all of Cantabria.
Suances is located 30 kilometers from Santander (30 minutes by car). Public transportation to the capital of Cantabria is very limited, with one bus line (La Cantábrica) connecting Suances with Santander in 45 minutes but with very sparse schedules. Therefore, we highly recommend traveling by private car or rental car.
The history of Suances is closely linked to fishing and its proximity to a highly industrial area like Torrelavega. In recent years, its economy has largely been based on seasonal tourism (summer), mainly from central Spain -Madrid-. It still remains largely unknown to international tourists.
Its popularity related to surfing, along with its proximity to most of Cantabria’s major attractions, makes Suances a destination not to be overlooked, presenting itself as a good alternative base to Santander for discovering all of Cantabria.
We know Suances very well, so here are our 5 reasons to visit Suances:

Not only because it’s a city with a lot of national tourism in the summer, but also because of its summery atmosphere. Suances means beach, terraces, palm trees, ice-creams, good drinks, and even partying.
If the weather is good, you’re going to feel like you’re in paradise!
4 - Its variety of accommodations
It’s clear that Suances is a tourist destination, but its accommodation options are not lacking.
In Suances, you have options for every budget and taste. From hotels with a very high standard of quality to campgrounds for those traveling with RVs, or rural houses for those who want maximum contact with nature.
At HiCantabria, we want to emphasize the importance of staying in legal establishments for sustainable tourism that allows everyone to enjoy the place, respecting the local population and preserving the villages as we know them.
5 - Its restaurants
Many times, when we think of tourist places, our minds automatically associate them with restaurants of low quality and a terrible value for money.
Fortunately, this is not the case, and Suances boasts some of the most famous restaurants in Cantabria, essential if you want to taste local products (Seafood or Cantabrian meat).
It is worth mentioning that Suances has two distinct areas, high up and by the sea, where we can find outstanding restaurants such as La Dársena or El Caserio (next to Los Locos Beach).
