Hostels in San Martín

Lovely location, very clean. Nice breakfast, kind staff.

If you want remote and super rural, this is definitely the place for you. Far away from any population centers, it's set in the hilly southwest section of pastoral Cantabria. Self-built over 4 years by owner Cris, her husband, and a friend, it's obviously a labor of love. Very rustic, yet comfortable and modern, it's like living in your own mountain cabin. Excellent views, dormitory rooms (each with a loft), one private room, guest kitchen, wood stove, wood interior and furniture -- you'll love it. They can accommodate 20 guests and the price is cheap! (I paid €17 in late October). And, for that price, Cris comes up from her home in the nearby village and prepares breakfast. Mine was toast with jam and tomato spread, hot drinks, fresh fruit and nuts from the trees outside, local butter, and good conversation. Notably, she did this even though I was the only guest! This part of Cantabria, Soba, has lots of outdoor activities, including caving. If you like extreme rural, don't miss Albergue Soba. I drove 15 km of poorly paved farm road by turning off CA-662. If you don't enjoy that the way I do, approach from CA-256 instead.
