Laredo Tourist Office

The Laredo Tourist Office is at one end of Alameda Miramar, in the building of the former municipal radio station. It is run by the Government of Cantabria through Cantur, so as well as Laredo they give you information on the whole region, and they serve visitors in five languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian and German.

What it offers

Leaflets on Laredo and all of Cantabria, which you can also download free from the laredoturismo.es website before your trip, and guided tours of the town. One of them is Get to Know Laredo, a two-hour walk through the town's history from its origins to today, leaving from Plaza de la Constitución, under the old town hall. The website announces the dates one by one (the next, on 13 November 2026 at 11:00) and does not publish the price or how to book, so ask at the office.

What to see with the map

The essential visit is the Old Town of Laredo: six medieval streets, mansions with coats of arms and a 13th-century Gothic church. If you go in late August, ask about the Battle of Flowers, the float parade that runs along Alameda Miramar itself on the last Friday of the month.

La Salvé beach, over four kilometres long, starts in the centre and ends at El Puntal, opposite Santoña. From there the Puntal ferry leaves, crossing to Santoña from March to October in about ten minutes; the office will confirm whether it is running that day. At the tip is the Asador El Tiburón.

Across the bay

If you cross to Santoña, the Santoña Tourist Office has maps of Monte Buciero and the marshes. To sleep in Laredo, the Hotel El Ancla is a hundred metres from La Salvé.
