Parador de Limpias

The Parador of Limpias is a peaceful retreat for cyclists, located on the right bank of the estuary that shares its name, beside the waters of the Asón River. Once the summer residence of King Alfonso XIII, the Eguilior Palace now offers a warm and comfortable stay surrounded by extensive gardens that invite rest and relaxation. Its spacious rooms, seasonal pool, and elegant lounges make it an ideal base for cycling enthusiasts looking to combine sport with serenity.

Cyclists will find dedicated facilities designed to meet their needs, including a secure cycling center with storage space, wall-mounted hangers, a high-pressure pump, a professional repair stand and a fully equipped tool bench for maintenance and adjustments. From Limpias, riders can explore scenic routes through Cantabria’s lush landscapes and enjoy easy access to nearby towns such as Laredo, with its vast beach of La Salvé, and Santoña, known as the birthplace of anchovies in olive oil and home to the accessible beach of Berria.

The town of Limpias itself is rich in heritage, with stately homes and buildings that reflect its past. Highlights include the San Vicente de Paúl school, the Santa Isabel hermitage and the church of San Pedro, which houses the famous Cristo de la Agonía. In the surrounding area, cyclists can also discover the prehistoric caves of Covalanas and Mirón, adding cultural depth to their journey.
