Visit Laredo and you’ll discover a charming fishing village that conserves the unique beauty of the towns bathed by the Cantabrian Sea.

Laredo is one of the most important tourist spots of the Cantabrian coast, and this can easily be understood by admiring its traditional houses, strolling through the wet stone streets and enjoying its natural and artistic richness.

The heart of the original settlement is the medieval Puebla Vieja, declared a Historic-Artistic Site, and which preserves the remains of its old town walls. Formed by a web of streets, or rúas, you’ll find mansions and palaces that form a valuable architectural heritage, such as the Casa de Zarauz or Casa de la Marquesa Arcentales. On their stone façades, you will see the coats of arms of the noble families and small balconies decorated with flowers. All the streets lead to Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, a Gothic-style church that is home to the Virgin of Bethlehem altarpiece, one of the most important Flemish-style pieces in the country.

If you want to take advantage of our cheap trips to Laredo to enjoy the coastal setting, you can head to the port to contemplate the way of life and the craft work of the fishermen there. In the Puntal, the Club Náutico organises various sailing competitions and offers you the chance to practise water sports.

With one of our package holidays in Laredo, you will discover the true treasure of this land, its exceptional coastal nature, which you can admire at Regatón Beach on the River Treto estuary, and on La Salvé Beach looking out onto the Cantabrian Sea, one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in the region.

Lovers of Laredo often visit in August to witness a celebration full of life and colour: the Battle of Flowers. A celebration of national tourist interest, this festival involves a parade that runs through the streets with incredible floats decorated with real flowers. Whenever you come, you’ll enjoy its cuisine, specialising in fish such as tuna, sardines and bocarte anchovies, among other delicacies.

Thanks to our holiday deals to Laredo, you can escape to this dreamy Cantabrian destination and fall in love with the land and its people.
