But not just any bench: it may just be the bench with the best views in the world. One of the most visually pleasing scenes of Seventeen takes place on a bench. This is why the white beach with Caribbean sands is a hub for surfers desperate to ride the wild crests of the Cantabrian Sea. is known for the savage beauty of its surroundings… and its waves. This stretch of sand, close to the town of the same name is enclosed by the sea and by a 25 metre cliff.
The next stop on the film buff’s route is Langre Beach. Navigating its small streets between the stone-faced shop fronts and balconies of the traditional houses that dot the valley slope (many of them set up for rural tourism) is a good way to disconnect from everything by taking in the beauty of the surroundings, feeling as if a time machine has transported you to medieval times. Surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the middle Nansa valley and fed with water from the river, the town preserves its centuries-old essence with an urban layout that has not changed since the 16 th century.
EL ULTIMO BASTION MOVIE
Most of the film, a road movie in which a 17-year-old youth escapes from a detention centre in search of his dog, takes place in Carmona, one of the country’s most beautiful towns indeed, it’s been declared as such by ‘Spain’s Most Beautiful Towns’, a prestigious association. In fact, the Cantabrian Tourist Board have taken note and created a route which takes its name from the production.Ĭantabria has about 220 kilometres of coastline and mountains that exceed 2,000 metres in height The natural enclaves in which Seventeen takes place are a good way to narrow them down. Though it is one of the smallest autonomous communities in Spain, the possible routes are almost endless. While rural tourism represented barely 6% of the region’s GDP at the start of the millennium, it reached 21.5% in 2018 according to a study from the University of Cantabria just before the pandemic. This move has allowed it to support the local economy while preserving the bastion of tranquillity that we all seek out in an escape. Yet even so, it is one of the few regions of Spain that has avoided overpopulation because it has made a definitive choice to pursue rural and sustainable tourism. With some 220 kilometres of coast punctuated by more than 90 beaches, mountains that reach over 2000 metres in height and the greatest number of archaeological sites in the world, Cantabria is a paradise that stretches from the sea to the earth, and even into the ground.
EL ULTIMO BASTION FULL
This historic region, buffeted by the fierce waters of the Cantabrian Sea and flanked by the jagged yet sublime Picos de Europa and Marina mountain ranges to the north, and the gentle valleys of Campoo to the south, is a 5000 square kilometre orchard full of contrasts, with an infinite array of places outside the tourist hubbub where you’ll have the sensation that, if you listen hard, you really can hear the grass grow.
This sentence, which poetically summarises the rivalry between the inhabitants of the regions of Liébana ( lebaniegos) and the Pas Valley ( pasiegos) is perfectly applicable to the rest of Cantabria. ‘The pasiego watches the grass grow, the lebaniego listens to it’.
