San Vicente de la Barquera

The panoramic town of San Vicente De La Barquera is located in the western part of Cantabria. Although allocated with just a small parcel of land, at around 40 square kilometers, the town is proud of its attractions and jovial festivals all year long. The lush green surrounding is endowed with magnificent sunrises, as if to enlighten the town’s immaculate beauty. The beautiful mornings by the harbor of San Vicente are a delight in itself.

San Vicente of Baquera is seated right in the heart of the beautiful Oyambre Natural Park. The grandeur of Mother Nature is manifested in the town’s warm beaches, lofty cliffs, dainty dunes, grasslands and pristine forests. The diversity of the flora and fauna of the place does not only attract tourists but are of economic importance as well.

Just like most towns in Cantabria, San Vicente of Baquera is a place where fishermen abound. The greeneries give a beautiful background to this historical place. Festivals and gastronomic pleasures are a common treat to the tourists. Artistry and cultural patrimony is a common sight around town.

At present, the economy of the town largely depends on its tourism. More and more communities of the town are converted into tourist attractions, without any effort at all especially since San Vicente of Baquera is a natural beauty.
