It is a fishing and fishing village surrounded by a privileged environment, in the heart of the Oyambre Natural Park. It has beautiful beaches such as Oyambre and the extensive sandy areas of Merón, small coves such as Gerra, without forgetting the San Vicente estuary, the Tostadero estuary and Fuentes.

San Vicente de la Barquera

Highlight • Settlement

San Vicente de la Barquera is an impressive fishing village located in the heart of the Oyambre natural park. Located between two estuaries, San Vicente faces the sea. The landscape changes constantly with the tides and the sight of the boats perched on the sand at low tide is very particular.

In Roman times, San Vicente was already an important port. In the Middle Ages, notable buildings such as the church of Santa María de los Ángeles were built and today the remains of the wall and the castle remain. However, the most appreciated monument is the stone bridge of La Maza, with its 28 eyes, built by order of the Catholic kings in the 16th century. From this bridge you can appreciate one of the most characteristic views of San Vicente, the contrast of the snow-capped peaks of Europe and the mouth of the estuary to the Cantabrian Sea.

From here there are good views of the San Vicente estuary. The Escudo River runs through the western part of Cantabria and flows into the Cantabrian Sea through the San Vicente de la Barquera estuary.
