InEmplacements
Cantabria is an Autonomous Community that combines sea and mountains, culture and gastronomy, beautiful medieval villages and extensive sandy areas.

All this in an area of just over 5000 km², which makes it the second smallest autonomous region of the peninsula.

Picos de Europa, Santillana del Mar, Potes… Cantabria has many well-known tourist destinations, but hidden between its forests and its coasts we find many equally enchanting places to locate your audiovisual production or photographic shooting.

Santander

Besides having one of the most beautiful bays in the world, it has locations like the Palacio de la Magdalena, the former summer residence of the kings of Spain that still maintains its elegant Victorian appearance. Santander occupies a small tongue of land surrounded by beaches and cliffs between the area of Sardinero and Queen Victoria. A beautiful environment dotted with pines and seals, a delight for your audiovisual project.

Antonio López, a wealthy “Indian” who, after making his fortune in Cuba, returned to Spain, built a series of buildings that converted this old Cantabrian fishing village into one of the towns where Modernist Art is most represented in Spain. Ideal for your audiovisual production or photographic shooting. Almost all the buildings of the fabulous Route of the Modernism of Comillas make reference to this person in one way or another.

Cave of Altamira

The Altamira Cave with its Paleolithic paintings is one of the most important caves of this kind among the European ones and, without a doubt, the most important one in Spain. Although it would be ideal for your audiovisual project, it is very difficult to get access. For this reason, there are replicas of the most important paintings in the so-called Neocueva de Altamira, where the most important engravings and paintings of the original are recreated artificially.

Cave of Soplao

You will find it under the mountains near San Vicente de la Barquera. Its interior hosts one of the largest concentrations of eccentric stalagmites in the world. They are white, convoluted and impossible. The regular visit guides you to the main room, well equipped and illuminated, very spacious, suitable for people who don’t like enclosed places. There is also an adventure tour, longer and more speleological, but still without much complications. Ideal to learn more about the cave and with great perspectives for your photographic shooting or audiovisual production.

Peaks of Europe
