Unforgettable experience.
During our trip to Cantabria, we visited Pujadò Solano and I can say that it was one of the best experiences of the entire vacation.
We visited the factory during processing, saw all the production phases up close, personally prepared four fillets, and learned how to make Gildas. The final tasting was excellent and allowed us to understand even better the quality of the product and all the work that goes into every fillet.
A special thanks to the guide and the filleting instructor, both very knowledgeable, very kind, and very nice.
All the staff also made us feel truly welcomed. We also met wonderful people with whom we shared the visit and the tasting.

Young guides who know the subject very well.
A plus: binoculars for bird watching.

Lucrative experience
Very lucrative, a small family business that teaches you a little about the life and the way of working of the sailors

Very interesting visit where a guide illustrates the marshes of Santoña and the cycle of the anchovy from the sea to the plate.
Excellent visit to get to know Santoña.

Canyoning Experience in Vega de PasOzetravellers, Jun 2026
Brilliant canyoning in barranco Ajan!
I took my husband and 20 year old daughter on a half day canyoning trip to barranco Ajan. I chose this one for the level of difficulty and fun…rappelling, slides and jumps up to 10 m. It is 1.5 hours drive from Bilbao to meeting point. Once there you are provided with 5mm wetsuit (which you will need!) and harness. Our guide Alvaro had only a few words of English and us only a few words of Spanish but we managed well despite the language barrier! Good sign language LOL. It was sooooo fun! Beautiful canyon…like a movie set! Alvaro was careful with safety and there was always an option not to jump though no one took it ! We had been canyoning before and this was the best one yet! Highly recommended . And Alvaro took photos and videos then sent them to us so no camera required. Bring cash to pay the balance (and tip) …no credit card facilities onsite.

Why not go? There is Mrs. Sun!!!☀️ Absolutely worth repeating!!!
A very pleasant visit thanks to Mrs. Sun, who initially described the activities of this establishment, explained who works there, always with her smile. She then shared behind-the-scenes stories and little anecdotes about that place, expressing all her passion for her work!
Finally, a tasting of their products was offered, true delights for the palate!!!
Thanks to Sun and all the staff!!!

Excellent. Fully adapted for people with reduced mobility
Experience worth living
The tour is fully adapted for people with reduced mobility. The Cristina guide is an excellent communicator, funny and tolerant of the needs of all visitors.
They also have more types of visit, such as via ferrata, with specialized guides
We definitely recommend it

Canyoning Experience in Vega de PasBas B, Aug 2025
Highly reliable organization with expert guides
Together with my 10-year-old son I joined a canyoning (beginners) tour. We enjoyed it very much partly because of the expertise of the guide. Everything went very relaxed and he continuously made sure he felt safe. During the beginner tour you can choose between strumming (rappel), sliding or jumping. We opted for the latter and had a jump of 2 meters, 5 meters and as a final 8 meters. Also been several waterfalls. Including walking to the start 2.5 hours busy. Highly recommended and a very good organization.

Santillana: Gaudí’s Caprice, Comillas and Redwood ForestkathleensR36KN, May 2025
Santillana Caprice
This was a stunning day tour which packed in some amazing sites just an hour from Santander.
The had a truly knowledgeable guide who worked very long and hard giving us every detail and also places we could look at when we had spare rest time whilst on the tour.
Would not miss the Gaudi house in Santillana or the little town and its surroundings.
Well worth the day out. 10/10
Thank you Guy & Kate
