Photo blog – Luaña beach, Cobreces, Cantabria
Some memories from a short break near Luaña beach in Cobreces.
Within 10 kilometres you have lovely Comillas to one side and historic Santillana to the other but we were so happy we didn’t feel the need to go all that far this time!
Most of the time was spent rock-pooling with the kids, belly-boarding or just lazing on the beach and enjoying drinks, snacks and delicious spit-roast chicken at the Bar Luaña.
We did get as far as Novales, 3km away, with its modernist church tower (the original was blown off by a lightning strike) its intriguing network of streams dating back to a history of leather crafts and its innumerable lemon trees testifying to its benign micro-climate.
A similar distance away on the way to Comillas we made a new discovery, Virgen de Remedios. Turn off towards the coast at Tramalon and wind your way along the coastal road with dramatic views. The Virgen de Remedios is a small private chapel but there’s a very nice bar/ restaurant just opened next door and a picnic area perched on the cliff top both of which enjoy spectacular views – a delightful little secret spot and well worth such a long trip!
