Description
We'll meet up at the designated time near the welcoming mural of Santoña, situated alongside the Avenida de Lons parking lot. Are you prepared to discover one of Cantabria's hidden treasures? Let's embark on this journey!
Before commencing our excursion, we'll delve into the rich history and culture of Santoña, featuring notable figures like Juan de la Cosa, an esteemed sailor and cartographer from Santoña who played a role in the exploration of the Americas. Additionally, we'll uncover the intriguing tales of the Faro del Caballo and Santoña's renowned Carnival, celebrated as a Festival of National Tourist Interest.

Continuing our journey, we'll visit one of Santoña's anchovy canning factories. Which specific factory we visit will vary depending on the season. We'll witness the meticulous process of preparing anchovy fillets, from fish cleaning to their arrangement and packaging in tins for distribution and consumption.
