Cantabria, in the North of Spain, is a unique place. Its natural beauty is unsurpassed – miles of uncrowded surf beaches, soaring snow-capped mountains, rolling green hills and valleys dotted with charming villages and towns. We know this because we live here. Cantabria is our home and we invite you to join us for a week of fun and adventure. With less than 50 miles separating the ski slopes and the surf breaks, Cantabria is the only place in Europe where you can viably surf and ski on the same day - with famous beach breaks such as Los Locos and the ASP tour venue Liencres within 20 minutes drive, not to mention countless other lesser known ‘spots’ within easy reach.
Add to this the spectacularly situated ski station, Alto Campoo, less than an hour away, and we are able to offer a totally different and exciting holiday experience.
* Please note: Surf&Ski Adventures require a minimum of low-intermediate surfing level.

For the duration of your holiday you will be staying in a luxury 4 Star beachside hotel. Soothe your aching muscles in the sauna or Turkish bath after a day on the piste, or in the water. Take a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool, or simply relax in your fully equipped hotel room or downstairs in the cosy and welcoming bar. A full buffet breakfast is included every morning, so you can fill your boots for the day ahead. If we’re up on the slopes, lunch will be in one of the restaurants at the ski station. If we’re down on the beach, we’ll stop for lunch in one of the historical towns or fishing villages that dot the coastline, for a typical Spanish ‘menu del día’ – three courses of your choice for around €12 to make sure you won’t go hungry. Dinner is up to you – sample a dish in the superb hotel restaurant, or take a walk around the village and stop in a bar for a tapa or two.
