Laredo & La Salvé Beach
Playa de La Salvé (Laredo)
The longest urban beach in Cantabria, a golden sandy stretch of about 5 km next to the medieval old town of Laredo, known as the Puebla Vieja.
La Salvé Beach stretches in a curve for about 5 km. At one end is the old town of Laredo, and at the other is a sandbar reaching out into the bay, facing Santoña across the water (with ferries in summer). The old town retains its city gates, cobbled streets and the 13th-century Church of Santa María, and it is a good place for tapas in the evening. Every year on the last Friday of August, the Battle of Flowers float parade takes place. Laredo is about 48 km from Santander, roughly 40 minutes by motorway.
