Santoña and Santander Bay, special wintering Seabirds

Travel guide

​

​

It is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a few days at the Cantabrian observing a multitude of birds that we usually we can not see in our latitudes, but that at these days winter on the Cantabrian Coast.

The trip to Santoña and the Bay of Santander takes place in the month of February as it is the time when you can see unusual birds in our country that wintering on the Cantabrian Coast. We will focus on Santoña and its surroundings and on the Bay of Santander (we will devote more time to one or other destinations depending on the sightings that are occurring on those dates).​
