The Huelguera neighborhood is filled with a quiet mix of single-occupancy houses (may of them Very Old; I believe that this house was built in the early 1800's, and the actual property is several hundred years old) with a few "townhouses" (that's code for connected). Think of a green, lush, pastoral neighborhood with stone walls. Lots of stones. Like, you know, Ireland. There are a few cows wandering around. I said Hi, they answered. They were very pleasant. This property is connected to a private house on the side, but the connection is not noticeable when inside; no noise! The gardens surrounding both houses are beautiful. I didn't get to eat breakfast out on the patio (raining; Surprise! Cantabria). That said, the breakfasts were wonderful: home-made bread and biscocho, tomato and oil and/or jam, *excellent* tortilla, fresh fruit, ham, cheese (varied by day), fresh-squeezed orange juice, nice strong coffee. In spite of the tranquility, the highway is about 5 minutes' drive away and many attractions (Altamira and Castillo caves, Laberinto De Villapresente, Santillana del Mar medieval town) are between 10-25 minutes' drive. Simply driving is wonderful because of the scenery. Make reservations for Castillo cave! The town (Puente San Miguel) has plenty of places to hang out, eat, etc. For a late-night beer with no frills (it's close, but you still need to drive), try Café Bar Loal. They treated me well. The bigger town/city, Torrelavega, another 5-10 minutes' drive away, has loads more stuff to do and see (as well as all the more mundane, yet necessary things: all-night pharmacy, supermarkets, etc). Go visit it for sure! Especially Mundo Canalla, if you want to have a stellar burger and dining experience, without having to pay $$$ and wait too long - yet feel like you ate gourmet). Sofía and José, you are awesome. Thank you both!

We arrived quite late for non-Spanish hours, but still could have dinner. The food was excellent, breakfast. The following day was even better.

The location.

Traveling with my daughter, she liked the place a lot. We wanted in a place in the country that was clean, comfortable, and close to the ocean. The place was full, but not choked with tourists as was every other place nearby.

Right on the Camino de Santiago with a tienda and a bakery next door. It was very clean and very quiet. We arrived early and we were able to get our room when we arrived.

Perfect location - right on the Camino. A lovely place to relax, wash & hang our clothes to dry in the breeze. We cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen. Bed was very comfortable & cozy with and extra fluffy blanket. Towels crispy having been dried on the line - nice!😁
