A lookout may be defined as \u201ca place perfectly positioned to view a landscape or event\u201d. Gazing out over an endless horizon and the extraordinary landscapes of Infinite Cantabria<\/a> is an experience in itself, don\u2019t you think? But since we don\u00b4t always manage to get a glimpse of everything we\u00b4d like to, we\u2019re giving you nine lookouts in Infinite Cantabria that are sights for sore eyes. Take time to take mental snapshots as well as photographs of the unforgettable memories you\u2019ll make here.\u00a0<\/h5>\n

As you can see, we have included spots on the coast and inland, so you can choose your ideal surroundings. On our tour, we will be travelling around the nine tourist areas of Cantabria, discovering three lookouts located along the coast and six inland ones. Ready? Then we\u2019re setting off to admire some of the Infinite Cantabria’s<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>best panoramic views from ground level.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Mirador de la Concha <\/strong>in Suances<\/strong><\/a>. Stroll along the newly restored walkway of this lookout to get some magnificent views of Playa de La Concha<\/strong><\/a>. Get lost in the breath-taking scenery of the Cantabrian Sea and La Concha beach, captivating at any time of year. And in the summer, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy one of the most popular beaches, packed full of leisure activities, on the Cantabrian coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"mirador<\/figure>\n

Our second stop is at Ecoparque de Trasmiera<\/strong><\/a>, specifically Mirador del Cincho, <\/strong>a lookout located on mount Cincho, which is home to the ruins of an ancient Celtic castle. <\/strong>This lookout is at the top of a very unusual structure, a stone tower with a wooden staircase spiralling around the outside. From it you can see one of the most incredible views in the Ecopark, all the way from the Cantabrian Mountains to the coast.<\/p>\n

\"mirador<\/figure>\n

Our last stop , which has a sea view, is Mirador de Pe\u00f1a Cabarga<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> Located at the top of Pe\u00f1a Cabarga, at an altitude of 568 metres, it offers an amazing view of Santander Bay, its surroundings and part of the Cantabrian coast. See the entire city of Santander and taste the best local Cantabrian snacks at its caf\u00e9, which is open all summer long.<\/p>\n

\"pe\u00f1a<\/figure>\n

We are now moving away from the coast and heading to six inland landscapes, proving Cantabria\u2019s ability to cater to any taste.<\/p>\n

We start our tour right at the heart of Picos de Europa National Park<\/strong><\/a>, at an altitude of 1823 metres, at Mirador de Fuente D\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>. This is one of the best known and most photographed places in Cantabria. It is an overhanging viewpoint, so if you suffer from vertigo, it is not for you. You can get there on the Fuente D\u00e9 cable car, which turns a 753-metre climb into a four-minute ride at most. You will be awestruck by the overwhelming beauty of the landscape from the highest station and, if you are lucky, you\u2019ll get to experience the feeling of walking on clouds.<\/p>\n

\"mirador<\/figure>\n

Leaving the Li\u00e9bana region behind, we are now heading east to find our second overhanging lookout at Cascadas del G\u00e1ndara,<\/strong><\/a> also known as Mirador de la Reina. Looking over the G\u00e1ndara river, it gives us the chance to admire the river\u2019s course and rapids that flow just a few kilometres away from its source. All this creates a spectacular landscape where the G\u00e1ndara waterfall is formed and the viewpoint looks over. Lean out and take it all in!<\/p>\n

\"mirador<\/figure>\n

The third lookout, which is not for the faint-hearted, is the Santa Catalina<\/strong><\/a> lookouton Mount Hozarcu, in Pe\u00f1arrubia<\/strong><\/a>. From its platform you can see the best views of the deepest part of the famous La Hermida gorge. This vantage point sits on top of the ruins of the early mediaeval Bolera de los Moros castle. This was strategically built here to watch over the gorge on a high, accessible plain that connects the historic Carmona to La Hermida road. This lookout is also the start of a mythological trail, where creatures hide in the woods, ideal for families to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"mirador<\/figure>\n

From Pe\u00f1arrubia, we\u2019ll make our way to Valles Pasiegos<\/strong><\/a> region to find our fourth inland lookout, the seventh on our list. This time we\u2019ll be checking out the Puerto de<\/strong> la Bragu\u00eda<\/strong> lookout. <\/strong>From this beautiful place, you can take in the best views Selaya has to offer, and discover the charm and lush greenery of our iconic Valles Pasiegos<\/a> first-hand.<\/p>\n

\"la<\/figure>\n

Now we\u00b4ll move onto one of the most photographed lookouts in the region, Mirador de la Cardosa. <\/strong>Located at the heart of Saja Besaya<\/strong><\/a> Natural Park, the views from this unique balcony are amazing and watched over by a deer monument. It\u2019s a perfect place for photos and ideal for listening to the deer bellowing in early autumn.<\/p>\n

Wrapping up the list is a little-known lookout with a rare view of Torrelavega<\/strong><\/a> and its surroundings: Mirador de La Pe\u00f1uca. <\/strong>Located on the road that leads up from Torrelavega to the town of La Monta\u00f1a, the vantage point is an essential stop on the traditional walk up in Cantabrian clogs called albarcas<\/em>. Torrelavega\u2019s first pilgrimage of the year, held to celebrate the feast day of Saint Blaise at the end of January.<\/p>\n

These are just nine lookouts that you can find in Cantabria, but there are many more. As you will see when you visit, Cantabria is like one big lookout. Are you ready to take the lookout tour? <\/p>\n
