Top 24 things to do and attractions in San Vicente de la Barquera

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 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.

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.

(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).

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€.

(Translated by Google) Walking through the historic center of the town, arriving at the Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles Parish, we saw this ruined building that in its time was the Hospital de la Concepción, built in the 14th - 16th centuries, where walkers found shelter and assistance. They used the primitive coastal route in search of the Sepulcher of Santiago. A pity that it is not better cared for, even more so when it is close to the Church, where people approach it and the viewpoint. (Original) Recorriendo el casco histórico de la localidad llegando a la Parroquia Nra Sra de los Ángeles, vimos este edificio en ruinas que en su época fue el Hospital de la Concepción, construido en los S.

(Translated by Google) A place to accompany the visit to the town. It's not a big deal, but it's comforting to know that it was used for something as positive as health.

This is the visitor Center of Oyambre Natural park. It is a natural reserve that comprises beaches, dunes, marshes and forest. It has informative panels about the species and the different parts of the park, translated to english also. Totally recommended!!

A great location that doesn’t attract too much attention. Worth visiting.

Great views. Friendly staff

Lovely, helpful lady at reception. Spoke very good English and showed us several possible walking routes. We. Chose the clifftop walk and stopped at. Beautiful playa de Fuente for a swim.

İ have been Rom the ( former) lighthouse 40 years ago! We lived there in the house above from ,1970 until mit father died ( First Camping El Rosal) İ was a very happy time. All people in San Vicente are totally nice. We have had a beautiful time. / İn the lighthouse/ my father. Now İ live in Turkey.

Fabulous location and friendly, helpful staff. A stunning view of the coast and great place to escape the crowds.

Amazing place with great routes.

Very well organized surf club. Reservation on advance went fluently. The lesson was tailored to inexperienced surfers. Thank you for the nice first surf day.

Went here last summer (august) to learn how to surf. We didn't have any experience, but they were very patient with us and together we made it a salty ride! Small groups made it possible to get personal help and feedback in the water and out. Every lessons started with a bit of theory, to increase knowledge about the water and what you need to know when you go surfing by yourself. We took the morning classes (5x), because the beach was more quiet. (and spectacular views as you can see on the photo) Their English was super! Thanks!

We took a 2 day surfclass with Simone as our Instructor and we loved it. He was great and we had a blast. The Surf school is amazing, everybody was really nice and we will absolutely be coming back. 5 out of 5 can recommend!!

We have been here last week and had a great time. Good instructions from the mentors (also theory), nice fibes and good attantion. In the water they provide personal instructions and follow your development. We took a class of 5 times x 2 hours. We never surfed before, and these 5 days gave us a sweet base in surfing. The water is great for starters, as well for experienced surfers! Would love to go here again!

Just finished a series of surf lessons with my husband and would 100% recommend! Super nice staff, kit in good condition with a range of different boards to try, and excellent tuition from Nico - we definitely noticed an improvement in our surfing over the week. Will return if we're in the area!

Great surf school, can definitely recommend! Good lessons, good equipment, fair prices and a really nice and warm atmosphere overall. The staff and instructors were really friendly and spoke good English. They Explained things well, were patient and made sure we learned the right technique. Besides the actual surfing they took the time before each lesson to explain a little bit about how waves are formed, how currents work and the general rules of surfing, which was really nice and helpful. Meron beach in general is a great place to learn to surf. We went at the end of September/beginning of October. Waves were perfect for beginners (not to big, not to small), water temperature was still nice and because it was after the holiday season it wasn’t too crowded. So in short: We had a great time at Meron Surf School and can definitely recommend!

We took classes here last year (08-‘19). Instructor was very qualified, friendly and besides Spanish and English (fortunately for us) also Dutch speaking. Shop staff was also very flexible, chill and kind! The lessons contained a bit of theory before heading out into the water. Groups were small, so we got a lot of individual attention and feedback in the water. We would certainly go here again!

Very nice place for lunch! It was a bit hard to understand each other in English but finally the result was just fine! Had Paella marisco, chicken wings, cheesecake and coffee - all good!

A lovely place where to eat ! Fish is very fresh and well cooked! They do not take reservations. You write your name in a paper and as soon as tha table is free, a new customer is called and ready to eat. Meanwhile you can drink something and look at the wonderful dishes full of fish that come out from the cuisine.

lovely small costal bar thát only serves fresh fish and seafood. I also enjoyed the Bravas, a kind of boiled fried cubes of potatoes.

We spent month and a half in San Vicente and this was our favourite place to eat. We went there like 5 times to eat menu del día or to eat with friends. We can recommend the bar as the food was of good quality and tasty, also waitresses were nice. Thanks for great food while staying in San Vicente.

OK... so here’s what you get for 13 euros each....Great choices on the menu del dia. Fish soup, vegetable stew/soup... so much food and that was only the first course. Warm, wonderful bread, then a huge portion of perfectly cooked hake. Lemon mousse and flan for dessert... oh don’t forget a carafe of very passable vino tinto and a bottle of sparkling water... super friendly service... glad we are walking back to the campsite... eat here...

Really great restaurant. Menu del dia Was amazing, more fish than I could really eat. Wine was flowing, deserts were to die for. We tried most of them and couldn't decide what was best. All fantastic. Good service, kitchen staff had their game on, perfectly run little restaurant turning out amazing food. Great value also.

The hake and langoustines were amazing. The cheese cake was that good even the wife want some. The service was friendly and they allowed us in with our chihuahua in his bed. Highly recommended

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!

(Translated by Google) This is the old defensive wall of the town that dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The wall completely fortified the old town of San Vicente with the King's castle and the parish of Our Lady of the Angels inside. Only the northern section and a part of the south remain standing of the wall. You can also see the old Pilgrim's Gate that gives access to a viewpoint with beautiful views over the Picos de Europa and the Pombo marsh formed by the Gandarilla River. This gate is one of the three that are preserved today, along with the Puerta del Mar and the nearby Puerta de Santander. (Original) Se trata de la antigua muralla defensiva de la villa que data de los siglos XIII y XIV.

(Translated by Google) An impressive church, one of the most essential buildings to see in San Vicente de la Barquera. Built and expanded between the 13th and 16th centuries, this church is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the region and houses within its spacious interior a carving of the crucified Christ, a Baroque altarpiece, and above all, the beautiful Renaissance tomb of the inquisitor Antonio del Corro. Entry costs €2 and is well worth it. (Original) Impresionante iglesia, uno de los edificios que ver en San Vicente de la Barquera más imprescindibles.

(Translated by Google) I was about to go in when an older woman at the entrance, the one who was supposed to collect the tickets, was incredibly rude, surly, arrogant, arrogant, and unpleasant. When we asked her what time the mass was, she literally told us that "either you pay to get in or you come in to hear mass, not to take photos, because if you do, you'll be kicked out." For someone on vacation, it was a really unpleasant situation, to be honest… (Original) Iba a entrar hasta que una mujer, mayor, en la entrada, la que se supone que nos iba a cobrar las entradas, muy maleducada, arisca, prepotente, chula y muy desagradable, al preguntarla a qué hora era la misa, nos dijo literalmente que “o se pagaba por entrar o se entraba para oír misa y no para hacer fotos porque entonces se nos echaba”. Para estar de vacaciones, fue una situación muy desagradable, la verdad…

Very nice well run Albergue in a beautiful hotel. Friendly staff with great service. Food was fresh and well presented at a reasonable price 👌

👌👌👌👌👌👌 Geniallllll

(Translated by Google) One of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. The room was dirty, smelly, and the furniture was old and untidy. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. Plus, there was so much noise at night that it was impossible to rest. For the price they charge, it's a rip-off. I won't return, nor do I recommend it to anyone. (Original) Una de las peores experiencias hoteleras que he tenido. La habitación estaba sucia, con mal olor, y el mobiliario era viejo y descuidado. El personal fue poco amable y nada resolutivo. Además, mucho ruido por la noche, imposible descansar. Por el precio que cobran, es una tomadura de pelo. No volveré ni lo recomiendo a nadie.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful estuary, although it is quite far away, in terms of size, from any of the Galician estuaries. (Original) Una bonita ría, aunque dista bastante, en cuento a tamaña, a cualquiera de las rias gallegas.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful estuary full of charm that can be admired from the castle (Original) Bel estuaire plein de charme que ont peut admirer depuis le château

(Translated by Google) Extraordinary place in Cantabria. One of the images that best defines it as a tourist region, since the sea, the mountains and one of the most typical towns in the region come together here. From the Maza bridge is the best photo. The estuary is extraordinarily beautiful, especially at high tide. Although it is also worth seeing when it is low, because of the play that nature gives. (Original) Paraje extraordinaria de Cantabria. Una de las imágenes que mejor la definen como región turística, ya que aquí confluye el mar la montaña y uno de los pueblos más típicos de la región. Desde el puente de la Maza está la mejor foto. La ría es extraordinaria de bella, especialmente en marea alta. Aunque también es digno de ver cuándo está baja, por el juego que da la naturaleza.

(Translated by Google) The whole environment is very beautiful along with the estuary itself, I stayed in a hostel in the upper area that was formerly a dairy cow farm, you can breathe healthy air and the view is all green, I came delighted as well as eating well. If anyone reads my review, I advise you to go. (Original) Es muy bonito todo el entorno junto con la propia ría, estuve hospedado en un hostal de la zona alta que antiguamente fue granja de vacas lecheras, se respira aire sano y la vista es toda verde, vine encantado además de comer bien. Si alguien lee mi reseña le aconsejo que vaya.

A beautiful little beach just opposite the town. I went for a sea bath. Feeling blessed to be here. The view of the snow peaked Mountains is breathtaking mountains 🏔 🙏🏽❤️

(Translated by Google) Small, quiet and protected beach that is within the Oyambre Natural Park. It is the closest to San Vicente de la Barquera. With views of the Villa, it is a fine sand beach ideal for going with children due to the absence of waves and currents. It has parking, showers, lifeguard service and restaurants. There is also a campsite very close by. It is next to Meron beach. Spectacular environment. (Original) Pequeña, tranquila y protegida playa que está dentro del Parque Natural de Oyambre.

(Translated by Google) Nice beach, located in front of the bridge leading to the city. Wide, sandy, slightly shaded by trees. On one side there is a river, on the other the ocean, and a view of the city. An easy and quick option to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can easily walk from the city. (Original) Fajna plaża, znajdującą się przed mostem prowadzącym do miasta. Szeroka, piaszczysta, trochę ocieniona drzewami. Z jednej strony rzeka, z drugiej ocean, a do tego widok na miasto.

(Translated by Google) This location is not Playa del Tostadero; It is La Maza Beach, next to the bridge of the same name. It is a dog beach (dogs are allowed) and it is small.

(Translated by Google) A seafront promenade that allows you to appreciate the beautiful scenery it offers. Depending on the time of day, you'll find it with or without water. This is due to the sea level itself, which varies throughout the day. You can see from the promenade how many boats are lying at the bottom, and after a few hours, they're back at sea. It's interesting, and if you're going to this town, it's recommended you stop by to experience it for yourself 🤌🏻 (Original) Un paseo marítimo que te permite apreciar el bonito paisaje que ofrece. Dependiendo del momento del día, lo pillas o con agua o sin ella. Esto es debido al propio nivel del mar, el cual varía a lo largo del día. Puedes llegar a ver desde el propio paseo como hay muchos barcos en el propio fondo y al cabo de una horas vuelven a estar en mar. Resulta curioso y si vas a ir a este pueblo, es recomendable el pasarte a presenciarlo tú mismo 🤌🏻

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, everything clean, very friendly, we will return. (Original) Precioso todo limpio muy amables volveremos.

Paying for parking - ok. But the path to the beach is awful. The beach itself is so overcrowded and the waves make it too dangerous to swim.

A visually stunning location located in picturesque Northern Spain. The sand is lovely and the beach is generally very clean. The one minor negative is that there is generally a large amount of people on the beach as well as surfers, wind surfers and body boarders in the sea.

Long and relaxed beach, you can surf here with no crowds. I did enjoy here.

A must visit in the north. Wonderful long Beach that will appear and almost disappear depending on the tide. Perfect place to walk, play 'palas', run, swim, surf, or stare at the sea

Good for learning how to surf but its too busy

Great sandy beach - good road and pedestrian access with a rustic cafe - restaurant.

Beautiful beaches

Beautiful beach, ideal for walking and surfing but FULL of lots of small floating algae. A bit annoying for swimming..

Spent the day on the beach here.. very nice!

(Translated by Google) You can get there with Google Maps, but I warn you that all the parking lots are private... they cost between €10, €12, and €14, and I think it's a shame that there are no public parking lots in this area, all of which are paid. The beach is very pretty. (Original) llegáis con Google Maps pero os advierto todos los parkings que hay son privados .. cuestan entre 10 € 12 y 14 y me parece muy mal que no haya parquines públicos en esta zona todos de pago la playa muy bonita.

(Translated by Google) An oasis of fresh water in the midst of Almería's aridity. The walk to the source is a marvel, along a leafy path that winds through a gorge among trees.

(Translated by Google) It is a spectacular beach, whether to enjoy as a bather or to surf. It is very long and the water is crystal clear. There is parking at the entrance that costs €4.
