Our
inn, our posada, the Posada San Telmo (category: Rural lodging in Northern Spain with the Q certificate of Tourist Quality awarded by the ICTE) is a
tipical Cantabrian manor house form the XVII century, completely restored -inaugurated
back in 1998-, located in the coastal village of Ubiarco, 5 kms. distant from Suances,
Santillana del Mar, the renowned Altamira Caves and the splendid Museum of Altamira;
and 0,5 kms. from the beach of Santa Justa, where we can find the Tower of San Telmo
(high up above the cliffs), and the fascinating Cave Shrine of Santa Justa, half
hidden between the rocks of a high cliff in the shape of an arch.
The
Posada San Telmo shows a detailed traditional decoration on its outside spaces, built
on both normal and masonry stones, solid brick, old clay rooftiles, slabs of slate
and fine woods. Curiously enough, all these materiales were already in the house,
though the most surprising thing was the abundance of stone, for back in the past
even the stables, even those for the pigs, were built in normal stone combined with
masonry stones.
Located
right in the middle of the so-called Western
Coast of Cantabria (Emerald Coast in the North of Spain),
the Posada San Telmo becomes a privileged vantage point in order to visit any place
in Cantabria. The symbiosis between the mountains and the sea is one of the most
important characteristics of our natural environment, shaped mainly by long meadowlands
that roll down towards beaches or spectacular cliffs. Our landscape is of great interest
to the visitor in search of unspoiled spots in the North of Spain.
If
you want to enjoy Green Tourism in Cantabria from one of its rural lodgings, taste
delicious delicacies in its restaurants, buy handicrafts evoking the mithology and
legends of Cantabria or antiques in its most emblematic shops, walk and breathe clean
air by the beach, through meadows, forests and mountains, go hiking around the wild
cliffs of Ubarco, from the Shrine of Santa Justa to the Inlet of Puerto Calderón
(old seaport of Santillana del Mar), the Posada San Telmo is your place, your Rural
Inn in Cantabria.
Everything
will be close: the Cabárceno Nature Park, the Oyambre Nature Park, the Saja
Wildlife Reserve, Altamira Caves, El Soplao Caves, the Santillana del Mar Zoo... You won´t miss any important
place to visit: Santander, Bárcena Mayor, Santoña, Cóbreces,
San Vicente de la Barquera, Comillas, Castro Urdiales and the Picos de Europa, with
the route of the Gorge of the river Cares... all of them places that will make you
experience the rural world treasured inside Cantabria.
