Suances is nestled along the northern coast of Spain, within the province of Cantabria. It is a coastal town located at the mouth of the San Martín River, where it meets the Cantabrian Sea. The town is situated about 32 kilometers west of the regional capital, Santander, and about 10 kilometers from the larger city of Torrelavega. Its coastal position offers spectacular views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, while inland you’ll find rolling hills and verdant countryside typical of the region.
Suances enjoys a temperate maritime climate, characterized by mild summers and cool, wet winters. The average temperatures during the summer months (June to September) hover around 20-25°C (68-77°F), making it an ideal time for beach activities and outdoor events. Winters are cooler, with temperatures averaging around 8-12°C (46-53°F), but the town’s appeal doesn’t fade with the change in seasons—its dramatic coastal scenery and peaceful vibe make it a great escape year-round. The region experiences frequent rain throughout the year, especially in the cooler months, contributing to its lush, green landscapes.
For visitors and event organizers, the best time to visit Suances is during late spring and summer (May to September), when the weather is warm, and the beaches and outdoor venues are at their most inviting. However, those interested in experiencing the town’s cultural side or seeking a quieter getaway may prefer the milder off-season months.
