However, there are still hidden nuggets, ignored by many tourists who offer a unique and authentic experience.

The Costa Trastiera is also a biodiversity environment with its swamps, refuges of migratory birds and its Green Oaks forests hanging on the cliffs of El Buciero. To continue to venture, the mountains of the Europe Picos, a spectacular background of coastal beauty and the surrounding towns and towns, characterized by a timeless Spain, call to continue the discovery of the Cantabrie region. Without the flashy of the more tourist coasts, the Costa Trasmeria will seduce those who try to discover a conserved Spain for another travel experience, far from the track.
