Holiday villas in Northern Spain

It’s the marvellous natural environment and comfortingly traditional character of the north that makes the biggest impression on holidaymakers, with plenty to keep young and old happy in what is a relatively small region.

Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria combined occupy little more than half the area of Andalusia. Green Spain offers you the opportunity to ramble unspoilt, natural landscapes in the morning and play in the waves of the sea or ocean in the afternoon.


You can hike picture-book alpine mountains, visit cultural landmarks and museums, take an interest in history and pre-history, drive the exciting coastline, stop at sandy beaches and little coves, enjoy legendary food and drink, sampling fine seafood in fishing villages, local cheeses, ciders and wines, learn curious local traditions, explore National and Natural Parks, trek ancient forests, see cave paintings, cycle through leafy gorges, take a boat to paradisiacal islands, place your feet in dinosaur footprints, scan the mountains where the last brown bears still live, take a narrow-gauge train ride or a cable car, see rare horse and bird species, swim in the Bay of Biscay or the Atlantic Ocean, in your private swimming pool or natural river pools.




It’s possible to visit a medieval cathedral and get completely and beautifully off the beaten track on the same day, to be in an ancient hamlet in a beech wood and at an uncrowded beach within half an hour







Self-catering holiday properties in Northern Spain, in Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria, range from villas with pools and traditional farmhouses to stone cottages, converted mills and village houses. Nature lovers can wake up in the spectacular Picos de Europa, children on an organic farm, others to the gentle sounds of pastoral village life.
