Cantabria is an autonomous community in northern Spain, defined by its dramatic geography stretching from the Cantabrian Sea to the high peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains, where Peña Vieja stands as the highest point. This coastal region shares land borders with Asturias, Castile and León, and the Basque Country.
Overall, Cantabria is a relatively inexpensive part of Spain to buy property. Santander holds far more of the housing stock than any other municipality, with prices sitting close to the regional average. The coastal towns of Castro Urdiales and Laredo also contain significant shares of the local market, though Castro Urdiales is notably more expensive. While the inland industrial hub of Torrelavega offers more affordable housing, smaller coastal and suburban areas like Suances and Santa Cruz de Bezana are the dearest places to buy in the region, with prices that far exceed those of the capital.
