If you are considering a self-catering holiday with your partner, friends or family, then please have a look at our large selection of cottages, villas and country houses in Northern Spain. We are sure you will enjoy the freedom from having more space and not being bound by a schedule. It is basically like having a home away from home, with all the little extras that make the difference. Our handpicked selection of holiday homes are scattered throughout north Spain, some within walking distance to the beach, others commanding wonderful mountain views. Day trips from a beach base to the mountains, or vice versa, are clearly an option as the distance is close. However, the best choice would be to spend some time in different locations. Check out the link below to browse our carefully chosen selection of villas in Northern Spain to find the perfect casa for your dream holiday. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.casas.co.uk/villas-in-northern-spain https://www.casas.co.uk/villa-pool-north-spain

You have probably heard about Costa del Sol, Costa Brava and Costa Blanca, maybe also about Costa Dorada and Costa Tropical, but what about Costa Verde - The Green Coast? Do you think it lives up to its name?

We firmly believe that small local businesses add to the character and charm of a place, but unfortunately they are a dying breed. At Casas Cantabricas we want to play our part in ensuring that small-scale artisans and craftspeople benefit from tourism. Here comes our first grain of sand: From Sheep to Socks In the pretty, peaceful, hilltop village of San Vicente del Monte in Cantabria, Cari’s sheep graze happily in the gently rolling hills beneath the dramatic Escudo mountain ridge. Alongside, an amazing array of flowers and plants, used for her wool dyeing, grow contentedly. Her fascinating, little workshop, sits quietly in the village square, overlooked by the fine church and the local bar. Crammed with all sorts of bottles, pots and pans, looms and spinning wheels and beautiful skeins of wool of the most dazzling colours from indigo blue to mustard yellow, it takes you into another world. Cari, is one of the few craftswomen in Cantabria, who continues the traditional process of wool making from shearing to carding to spinning and dyeing, to knitting, crocheting and weaving! Her ninety- six year old mother, Adela, taught her the trade. Adela still knits the socks and escarpines (a kind of slipper used to line the traditional wooden clogs “albarcas” worn by farmers), on sale. She started making socks in the Civil War to send to the front to keep the soldiers’ feet warm. School teacher and artistic brother, Nando, helps with the wool dyeing and with the occasional weekend workshop they hold to pass on their invaluable skills to others. Forever inventive, Cari now also works with other textiles, including silk, and is at present experimenting with Itajime Shibori, a Japanese technique. Long may the tradition go on!
