Alojamientos Cantíber

With a lot of effort and enthusiasm, we started this Alojamientos Cantíber project in 2016. The moments we live lead us to change the course of our lives. We love to travel, but the situation required it to be another way, to travel through the people we receive in our home.

Even having traveled many places, we have to say that it is a privilege to live in Santander, a beach and mountain area. With one of the most beautiful bays in the world, with beautiful corners to enjoy, being for us the one that has had the greatest influence on our lives, The Magdalena Peninsula. It is one of the most beautiful places in Santander, at its summit is the Magdalena Palace. This majestic building from 1911 was gifted by the people of Santander to King Alfonso XIII.

Today, the Menéndez Pelayo International University courses are held there, talks and conferences are given. Fantastic views of the city and the sea from such a special location in the city.

In this same facility, you can enjoy flora and fauna, as well as one of the most emblematic corners: the Museum of Man and the Sea. This open-air museum is made up of small galleons that evoke the caravels Pinta, Niña and Santa María. Presided over by a beautiful sculpture, the mermaid replica of the figurehead of the ship of Juan de la Cosa, navigator and cartographer.

One of the most representative signs of Cantabria are: the Cantabrian stelae. Monolithic stone discs of different dimensions, the first examples of which were carved in the centuries prior to the Romanization of Cantabria. The most famous is the so-called “Estela de Barros”. Which can be seen in the Parque de Las Estelas in the town of Barros in Los Corrales de Buelna. Other stelae found are exhibited in the Regional Museum of Prehistory and Archeology of Cantabria in Santander.

The Lábaro, based on the design of the Cantabrian stela of Barros, is a contemporary interpretation of the ancient military standard called Cantabrum. Its etymological meaning, the one that speaks, refers to its use as a banner used to send orders or signals to the troops during battle. This type of banner and its variants were quite widespread among the Celtic peoples. In 2016, the Parliament of Cantabria recognized it as a "representative and identifying symbol of the Cantabrian people."

When choosing the name for our new house, we focused on the etymology of the term “Cántabro”. It comes from the root “cant”, common in Celtic names and whose meaning is rock. Cantabria would mean a town that lives in the “rocks” (mountains). That is why we are called “mountain people”. Another place worth visiting is the source of the Ebro River, called “Iber” by the Celts. It was thought that Cantabria came from cant-iber, inhabitants of the Ebro mountains. Hence the name of our accommodation: Cantíber.
