Adults tend to complicate things, sometimes to the limit. So one of the reasons we like to travel with children is to discover the innocence and simplicity with which they view the world. "How Cantabria, Teo?" A mature person may have been lecturing hours on landscapes, politics or the Cantabrian society, but our five year old son summed it up in one word: "Green".
After the trip to Cantabria , Teo decided to add another nickname to the formula. "Green and fun." And in the days we were knowing this Atlantic region we had no time even to blink. We grew tired, but very satisfied with everything we saw and experienced.
When we wonder if we are travelers usually say no, we are still apprentices. Every trip is a new teaching, especially since we have the opportunity to do many things for the first time. In that sense, it was very abundant in Cantabria the number of debuts, so no wonder that Teo added the word "fun".
Our first surfing lessons in Somo
And eye that I tell lessons, because we do not ride any wave. From Santander Somo went up in the mythical Pedreñera to learn something about the sport of table. We had the privilege of our baptism took place in the First Book of Surf of Spain and by teachers of Surf at all costs . It was very, very funny and we put tenacity. Although the lectures of Ali, it took ourselves standing on the table. Repeated promise.
... Even fish in a fish farm
I remember small fish with my uncle, but Teo and Oriol was the first time. Here the prize was almost assured because we fish in a fish farm Saro dedicated to raising trout. The kids had fun in a big way, because the tour starts in a very peculiar zoo birds. A Teo cost very little catch him and caught the hang dozens of trout. He learned to put the bait only to have the patience to wait for the fish to return sting and then catches the water with his own hands.
Try the Wagyu beef tripe
This is more than dads of children. Let's see, eat in Cantabria, which is said to eat, we ate vice. It was a constant cooking show, but as lovers of Japanese food that we were surprised with a plate toparos merged as well as Wagyu beef tripe. We are not too fan of tripe, but I have to admit that these were making bread and dip. All we could taste at Restaurant Pools Villacarriedo. Highly recommended.
Contemplating rock art in El Pendo
"We are in the house of The Croods" I had to tell Teo while visiting the cave of El Pendo . It is one of 10 that have been declared World Heritage Site by Unesco in Cantabria. The visit is a marvel and the highlight is to contemplate cave paintings of over 25,000 years ago. A feast for the eyes in a truly remarkable setting and with a touch of mystery that give the caves.
Distinguish a stalactite and a stalagmite in El Soplao
The truth is that the visit surprised us most was far from the cave of El Soplao . Strive hard we try to explain it is impossible to convey in words the feelings that live in that place. It was so not emocionábamos us that way before the grandeur of what we saw there. In truth, just to see this natural wonder worth making a trip to Cantabria. Children hallucinating, of course.
Feeding a giraffe in Cabárceno
Actually in the Nature Park Cabarceno did many things for the first time. We feed the giraffes and elephants, touch the skin of a rhino, we were surrounded by a huge number of bears (in a car) and saw species of wild and domestic animals that had not contemplated in life. The quantity, quality and variety of species is great and the setting wonderful. One of the places to go with children in most recommended Cantabria.
Imitate the monkeys moving from tree to tree
Our farewell Cantabria was also debuting in zip lines and circuits nestled in the trees. In Forest Park Santander us enfundamos harnesses and helmets and dedicate ourselves to move between the trees like we were monkeys. Fun, excitement and some sustito are secured in this kind of theme park for young and old. A good way to release adrenaline.
