Beaches are great, town a little disappointing. Seafood restaurants near the Port end of town looked interesting. Free parking near the Port.

Great walk from the town center to the castle. Awesome views and the cathedral is up there too. You can see the whole robes and the town from there. Peaceful and beautiful. A must see if you are in San Vicente de la Barquera. There sometimes a few expositions of local artist in the near museum. Usually free entrance.

Worth 2€. A couple of interesting things inside, but to be honest the best is certainly the view. Not suitable for people struggling with stairs ;)

It probably helps that the weather was marvellous. But hey that it is how it is in early July.

Beautiful castle with amazing views around the bay of San Vicente de la barquera. Inside you can see a hugh canon. When you go upstairs you can walk around and enjoy the views and take nice pictures. At the end there is a church you can visit too. Inside the central hall there is a 3D maquete of the castle and town.

best thing you can get for 2 euros. great exhibition and views. Real cool mini model with amazing detail

Following a dog bite I went for treatment and was attended to almost immediately by a very professional nurse. Thanks to her I suffered no ill effect.

Beautiful viewpoint. A must see if you're in the area as it is near the castle on the hilltop and it's free! Best timing is around sunset. The church can also be visited during certain times (adults: 1,50€ children: free) but I haven't seen it myself in the many times I've been here. There are some areas you can sort of safely climb as well along the crumbling wall.

It was closed so we couldn't visit the church but the view around is beautiful. Worth stopping to enjoy the sunset.

Must see .. so much history.. so much beauty of ancestors ..

Beautiful scenario, especially with the sunset

Opens from 10 to 14 and from 16 to 21

Ok!!!!!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful viewpoint next to the Church of Santa María de los Angeles offers incredible views of the Pombo estuary and the Picos de Europa in the background. If the weather is good, you can even see the Naranco de Bulnes mountain. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1931, it stands out for its mountain Gothic style. There, you can see an arrow indicating km 0 of the Camino de Santiago. Ideal for families with children.

nice sightseeing

(Translated by Google) Nice bridge that connects the town with the beach area. Nice to walk and take a walk observing the sea on both sides of it. The boat area is very nice. When the tide comes in it seems like another place. From this you can see the entire town perfectly. (Original) Bonito puente que une el pueblo con la zona de playas.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful centenary bridge that connects San Vicente de la Barquera with its beaches.

The view on both sides is one of the best you will find in the Cantabrian province and there are more than one who dares to take out the rod and fish. (Original) Precioso Puente centenario que conecta San Vicente de la barquera con sus playas.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent corner of San Vicente away from the town center located on the Paseo de la Barquera, a path which leads to the Punta de la Silla lighthouse, next to the fishing port and built in stone in the 15th century, the entrance of which is protected by a portico with semi-circular arches. Inside, the image of the Virgen de la Barquera, patroness of the municipality, is venerated. According to legend, she arrived at this place one distant Easter Tuesday, aboard a small boat, without crew, sails or oars, which for years performed the miracle of directing the future wind for sailors. In memory of these events, the popular festival of La Folía is celebrated every Easter Tuesday, which is of national tourist interest. (Original) Un magnifique coin de San Vicente à l'écart du centre ville situé sur le Paseo de la Barquera, chemin qui mène au phare de Punta de la Silla, à côté du port de pêche et construit en pierre au XVème siècle dont l'entrée est protégée par un portique à arcs en plein cintre. À l'intérieur, l'image de la Vierge de la Barquera, patronne de la municipalité, est vénérée. Selon la légende, elle serait arrivée à cet endroit un lointain mardi de Pâques, à bord d'une petite embarcation, sans équipage, ni voiles, ni rames, qui aurait accompli pendant des années le miracle de diriger le vent futur pour les marins. En mémoire de ces événements, on célèbre la fête populaire de La Folía chaque Mardi de Pâques, qui présente un intérêt touristique national.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place, worth a visit. (Original) Un sitio muy bonito , merece la pena la visita

(Translated by Google) A very charming and beautiful place. And, above all, a peaceful place where you can see the patron saint of San Vicente de la Barquera. (Original) Sitio muy coqueto y bonito. Y, sobre todo, lleno de paz donde ver a la Patrona de San Vicente de la Barquera.

(Translated by Google) The Barquera sanctuary is located very close to the fishing port on the road that leads to the Punta de Silla lighthouse and the estuary formed by the estuary at the mouth of the Cantabrian Sea. It is a hermitage built in the Middle Ages and whose first references date back to the 15th century. The entrance to the chapel is preceded by a small portico with four semicircular arches. Externally, it is a fairly large building with a robust and resistant appearance, built entirely of stone and with buttresses on its west wall that faces the road. The chapel, however, has rather small dimensions since on one of its sides there is a shelter attached to the sanctuary. It is accessed through a lintel door that is located behind a small garden. The interior has a single nave with masonry walls. As soon as you enter, there is an iron fence under a tented arch that closes the way to the chapel. In the apse you can see a marble altarpiece with the image of the Virgen de la Barquera, patron saint of the town of San Vicente de la Barquera. In our case, the church was open only up to the gate, so we were not able to see the image of the Virgin up close. According to a legend, one Easter Tuesday when the sailors of the town were celebrating the Easter festival, these sailors saw a small unknown ship coming in the distance that did not carry sails or oars and in which there was no crew but which was moving in the direction of land. On the ship there was only the image of the Virgin, which indicated the direction of the wind to the sailors who were there. From that moment on, the town decided to build a hermitage in honor of the Virgin so that it would serve as protection for the sailors who went out to work in the dangerous waters of the Cantabrian Sea. Even today, boats that go out fishing sound the boat's siren when passing in front of the hermitage asking for the protection and protection of the Virgin. A very charming hermitage surrounded by a beautiful and very well-kept garden space. It is worth walking from San Vicente for a pleasant walk to the lighthouse, with beautiful views of the sea and the surroundings. (Original) El santuario de la Barquera se encuentra muy cerca del puerto pesquero en el camino que lleva al faro de la Punta de Silla y al estuario formado por la ría en la desembocadura al mar Cantábrico. Se trata de una ermita construida en la Edad Media y cuyas primeras referencias datan del siglo XV. La entrada a la capilla está precedida por un pequeño pórtico con cuatro arcos de medio punto. Externamente es un edificio bastante grande con una apariencia robusta y resistente construido totalmente en piedra y con contrafuertes en su pared oeste que da a la carretera. La capilla, sin embargo, tiene unas dimensiones más bien reducidas ya que en uno de sus laterales hay un albergue adosado al santuario. Se accede a través de una puerta adintelada que se encuentra tras un pequeño jardín. El interior es de nave única con muros de mampostería. Nada más entrar hay una verja de hierro bajo un arco carpanel que cierra el paso a la capilla. En el ábside se puede ver un retablo en mármol con la imagen de la Virgen de la Barquera, patrona de la villa de San Vicente de la Barquera. En nuestro caso la iglesia estaba abierta solo hasta la verja, por lo que no pudimos llegar a ver de cerca la imagen de la Virgen. Según cuenta una leyenda, un martes de Pascua en el que los marineros de la villa celebraban la fiesta de la Pascua, estos marineros vieron venir a lo lejos un pequeño barco desconocido que no portaba velas ni remos y en el que no había tripulación alguna pero que se movía en dirección a tierra. En el barco tan solo estaba la imagen de la Virgen, la cual indicaba la dirección del viento a los marineros que allí se encontraban. A partir de ese momento el pueblo decide realizar la construcción de una ermita en honor a la Virgen para que sirviera de protección a los marineros que salían a faenar en las peligrosas aguas del Cantábrico. Aún hoy en día los barcos que salen a pescar hacen sonar la sirena del barco al pasar frente a la ermita pidiendo el amparo y protección de la Virgen. Una ermita con mucho encanto rodeada por un espacio ajardinado precioso y muy bien cuidado. Merece la pena venir andando desde San Vicente dando un agradable paseo hasta el faro, con unas hermosas vistas del mar y el entorno.

We loved strolling with the kids and enjoying the views while we climbed the cobbled pedestrian street. We'll be back.

(Translated by Google) Walking through the old part of the town also known as Puebla Vieja, in the area where the King's Castle, the Church of Sta María de los Ángeles and the remains of the Hospital de la Concepción are located, you will find this tower in the old part of the defensive wall of the town, its construction dates back to the 13th century next to the wall that surrounded the town, which was the residence of the provost (in charge of collecting taxes). It has subsequently undergone renovations since the 16th century, it was used also as a prison. Currently its function is as a cultural center for exhibitions and cultural activities.

(Translated by Google) The town is worth a visit. Parking is very difficult, so we recommend the closed parking lot. An hour and a half costs €1.40. From the parking lot, cross the river and go up to the castle and church. You can enter both sites for a fee (€2). We'll tell you that you really pay to enter the castle for the similar view from below. Afterwards, when you go down to the town hall square, be careful, the stairs are slippery. Walk around the porches; there are some interesting places. (Original) Merece la pena visitar el pueblo. Aparcar muy complicado, recomendamos el parking cerrado, hora y media 1,40€. Desde el parking cruzar el río y subir hacia castillo, e iglesia. Ambos sitios se pueden entrar pero pagando (2€). Os diremos que el castillo pagass realmente por la vista parecida desde abajo. Después al bajar hacia la plaza del ayuntamiento cuidado, las escaleras resbalan. Recorrer los porches, hay sitios curiosos.

Another excellent restaurant in San Vicente de la Barquera. They know how to deal with fish in the kitchen and the product is first quality. Really a mandatory visit if in the area. I don't give 5 stars because it can always get better but it is very close.

It is always a marvelous experience. The products are local and from the season. The quality of the service is impeccable.

The best fish I've ever tried. Service was fast and friendly and its really nice to be eating next to the sea. The 5 stars are Well-earned.

10 stars for food and service. Extraordinary!!

Great shellfish, we had the platter for two and it was excellent - finishing with the lobster 👌. Great wine too - the platter came with a bottle of Galician Albarino, and we ordered a secund bottle of different Albarino, both were extremely quaffable. Good value for money

Very good food, pleasant staff, a little more expensive than other comparable local restaurants.

This restaurant reminded us what tomatoes should taste like. Something so simple could taste so good! Great food and great service.

Better to book in advanced, specially public holidays and weekends. There is a crazy waiter who is super nice, the service is fast and efficient and ask for recommendations. We tried "cachopo" and it was yummy. The only contra a bit pricey.

We chose the restaurant for it's quite good reviews. We ordered Patatas tres salsas and Caxopo. The fries are not homemade (which they usually are in this region). They were soft and drenched in oil. The Caxopo was the worst we had since then (and we had many). Being from Vienna I know my ways around a good Cordon Bleu and this one was soaked in oil, not crunchy and did not cover the meat. I cannot recommend this restaurant, it works with the cheapest ingredients and the service was a bit cold. We did not try the fish. The ambiente is normal. Usually we had good experiences in other local restaurants of that kind. Maybe look for something more inlands as it is cheaper and the people are nicer tvere, often you can find family run businesses that are happy to host you.

We were greated rather unfriendly which we attributed to the lack of language skills. The shrimps were sandy and tasteless. The other dish was lukewarm at best. Once we wanted to pay we had ask for the check three times within 40 minutes, unsucessfully. So we went inside to pay and had to wait yet another 5 minutes for the guy to even talk to us. When we told him that either we could pay the check within 2 minutes or we would leave he finally acknowledged us. Another 5 minutes later, he practically riped the money from our hands and threw us out, in a suitably unfriendly tone.

I've been 2 times in the last 3 weeks and enjoyed it very much. Delicious food and wine.

Large portions but basic food. Ungutted sardines. Morcilla de Burgos was just that apart from a couple of token bits of pepper. Terrible clumped oily fries. This restaurant caters for Spanish tastes but as northern Europeans it was not for us.

Great food! Very unassuming restaurant, but fantastic fresh food! Fish straight from the boat and the best meat selection we’ve had! Highly recommend it!

Phenomenal food and excellent service. The cocido montañés is out of this world!

Good quality food in the heart of san vicente. Very attentive staff. Food a bit too traditional.

Had Lunch here. Ordered pisto , fries and a fish dish (hake). The food was very delicious. Had a hearty lunch. Definitely recommend this place, though the price is a bit on the higher side.

Fresh and fabulous seafood, excellent service, reasonable prices — fantastic!

A secured value in San Vicente. Excellent food quality well treated in the kitchen. Fantastic seafood and meat.

Extremely disappointing food. Better tasting fish from the supermarket

Truly delicious food: I had the verdinas con almejas, delicious soup with beans and clams, following by the hake al Boga Boga which was simple relying solely on the fact that it was fresh and moist and tasty. I asked for the seafood hot pot but was told that the kind of fish used for that dish (bonito) is not currently in season. Clearly the daily recommendations are based on what is freshly available. Not cheap but at €30 for the meal, plus coffee and a glass of wine, I would say good value. Wait staff spoke no English but went out if their way to be helpful and we're very pleasant. My only complaint would be that the food came too quickly with not enough space between courses.

We are regular patrons here. Toñín and Mayte run this legendary restaurant. There is no place like Boga Boga when it comes to delicious seafood and super fresh fish. The portions are ample and the prices are moderate for the superb quality. The staff is very charming too. Lobster and crayfish are simply great. I have a weakness for grilled hake (merluza) but any of the fish they offer is guaranteed to be excellent. Be sure to stop by here when in San Vicente.

Best clams and lobster ever ! Very friendly and honest owners , the lady suggests to share plates as it will be too much otherwise. There was rice left and they offered us to pack it, we had it for lunch the day after. LOVELY !

Beautiful views had the garlic mushrooms very quick service and friendly staff, would highly recommend.

We found this restaurant in Google Maps while searching for a place to have lunch in San Vicente and even if we had high expectations, it fullfilled all our expectations! The food was delicious, atmosphere was relaxed and service was extremelly friendly. We really recommend the rice with lobster :)

This was the most delightful meal of our two-week trip to Spain. The service was extremely helpful and friendly. The seafood was super-fresh and expertly prepared. I’m not a huge fan of octopus. It usually bores me, but their grilled octopus was the single best thing we ate on our trip. It was lightly charred but tender, with a tangy pimentón sauce. The clams, rape, and merluza we’re all delicious. Great dessert. And we finished it all off with the local liqueur—orujo. You’ll pay a bit more here, but you’ll also enjoy it more.

This is an amazing restaurant with amaaazing quality food. Lots of love and efforts put into food. Everything homemade and the price is great for the quality. You must go here.

We popped in the day before to book a table. It was lovely fine dining, hosts were helpful even though not much English spoken. Food was excellent, definitely a level above other restaurants in the town. As is the norm in this part of Spain the menu is not really split between starter and mains. Recommend ordering 3 dishes between 2 if you are hungry. Desserts were really rich and yummy.

Very recomendable! Best fish dishes I have ever had!

I set my hopes high but unfortunately I found the dishes disappointing. We had some fried calamari (rabas), which they offer in two versions - local, tougher variety (premium prices) and softer type sourced elsewhere (cheaper). The local ones were ok, but the other dishes I tried - not so much. The fish and shellfish soup was very basic and lacked depth of flavor, however the worst experience was paella. Maybe if they named it "arroz con cosas" I would not be so surprised, but what we were served had nothing to do with real paella. I understand that Cantabria is quite far from Valencia, but calling this thing paella was misleading to say the least. The pan was high like a casserole, there was absolutely no socarrat at the bottom and the overall experience was kinda meh. Edible, but in the end we struggled to finish what we ordered. Interesting that they serve paella, but refuse to serve cider with the comments that "this is Cantabria, not Asturias"...

We ordered pulpa de gallega and it was impossible to chew ,so we couldn’t eat it,torrejas was also not tasty -so sweet that you need a lot of water with every bite

Great establishment with professional waiters that gives you excellent service. Prices are correct. The fish soup was amazing I could definitely finish with him and go home happy. We were sorry that we continue to the puplo and the fish - because we didn't had much space and they weren't that good as the soup. Wanted to try the desserts but I was completely full. Over all Very recommend!

The service is completely confusing. Despite the empty tables, they tell you there's no seating for the rest of the day. Then you ask if you can be served at the bar and they say yes. But if you go to the bar, they tell you it's not allowed to serve people there. A well-meaning waiter then takes you to a distant empty table. You sit, order your appetizer, and another waiter appears with customers and tells you that you can't eat at that table; it was reserved. An embarrassing situation for everyone. This restaurant isn't equipped for the summer rush. I recommend any other restaurant.

This has to be the biggest waste of fresh fish and seafood I’ve ever eaten. Navajas de San Vicente bland with no seasoning, a lazy effort from the chef. Croquetas de Marisco were mainly potato. Zamborinas over cooked and the garlic with them burnt. The Merluza a la romana soggy, a waste of a good piece of fish. My wife ordered the Mariscada individual which included raw almejas and raw Cigalas, they took the plate back and recooked it all, even recooked was no better than an amateur cook could cook at home. All of this costing us 129€. The lady serving us was great, the lads at the bar was rude. Only good thing about this restaurant for me, was a cafe con leche at the end.

If you are in town and hungry, no question- go here to eat. If you aren’t hungry? Take a walk, build an appetite then go here. Food is excellent. House wine is a good match. You will need to book, it is very popular, and for good reason.

I had high hopes cause of the good ratings, but got disappointed. The service, expect for 1 person, were very unfriendly, neither saying please or thanks .. we did not feel welcome or wanted. We took the premium version of the anchiovis and were greatly disappointed. 20 euros for standard anchiovis, tasted just like out of the glass of the supermarket. The paella was quite ok. Nothing special. It was missing flavour and depth.
