Hotel Calas de Liencres Restaurant and Café

With views of the coves

The Hotel Calas de Liencres is in the barrio de la Sierra, on the road that goes down from the centre of Liencres to Somocuevas beach, 9 km from Santander. It has a restaurant, café, bar, reading room and terraces overlooking the coves of Somocuevas, Portio and Cerrias, in the heart of Costa Quebrada. It is a comfortable stop on the way back from La Arnía: it is a few minutes' walk from the coves.

What there is

The hotel offers a restaurant, café and breakfast service, and a function room with terraces for about 200 people. The menu can be viewed on its website, as an image or with the QR code placed on the tables, but is not published as text, so we cannot detail dishes or prices. The hotel does not publish what type of cooking it does or whether there is a set menu: ask when you call.

Before you go

It does not publish the restaurant's hours or say whether it serves non-guests. If you are going without staying there, call 942 588 093 or write to [email protected] to confirm that it is open and whether there is a table, especially at weekends or if there is an event.

Getting there and parking

From Santander you arrive by the CA-231 or the S-20 in the direction of Torrelavega, with the exit towards the CA-303. In the centre of Liencres, turn right towards Somocuevas beach; the hotel is 200 metres further on. It has free surface parking. From here you walk down to the coves along the cliff paths; wear footwear with good grip and check the tides.

What to combine it with

The easiest way to use this restaurant is as the end of a walk along Costa Quebrada: down to La Arnía or Portio at low tide, back along the cliff and coffee on the terrace. In the afternoon, five minutes by car takes you to the walk through the Liencres dunes and Valdearenas beach, or to the Monte Picota bunkers. If you are looking for market cooking with a published menu, the alternative in the village is Burdo Restobar. If you stay overnight, the hotel has 45 exterior rooms.
