Overall the trip was great. The guide, I believe Jon, was friendly, informative, and passionate about nature and providing a good experience. The problem was the weather was overcast and we could not see the “picos” which was my main motivation. Also, I hadn’t realized the cable cart was not working, so we couldn’t go up. If you are okay with this, then I highly recommend this tour. Van was comfortable and pick up was timely and closer to my hotel than anticipated. The other stops were nice and Jon also provided us a tour of Potes.

One word that describes this trip: memorable. I was excited to start the journey and I ended up feeling happy. Can’t describe the beauty of the landscapes that were at every corner. Wonderful and breathtaking mountains with clean air and peaceful villages available to explore. A little change of plans and did not have the cable car but instead went to the ‘Mogrovejo’ village where the famous ‘Heidi’ movie was recorded. This village displayed the same authenticity like in the movie. Our English guide was brilliant and knowledgeable made me think he loves his job and this part of the country. He was flexible with our group and gave recommendations about restaurants to chose from in Potes. I found a Mexican Restaurant that serves vegan meals and I enjoyed it. Ended up with great souvenirs and all places I’ve been I could pay with my card. Got back to the hotel in time. One of the best trip I’ve done this year.

I think it was a nice way to see beautiful parts of Cantabria if you don’t have a car. I think the amount of time in each place was really great. Jairo was a great guide, taking time to say everything twice (in Spanish for the other participants, and in English for me).
