Suances, Coastal municipality in Cantabria, Spain.
Suances extends along the central coast of Cantabria, featuring five distinct beaches and five small islands near the meeting point of Saja and Besaya rivers.
The municipality originated as a fishing settlement, later developing into an administrative center with medieval fortifications like La Mota de Tres Palacios in Hinojedo.
The Las Brujas cave contains Paleolithic hand paintings that demonstrate the early human presence and artistic expression in this northern Spanish region.
The municipality connects to other parts of Cantabria through two main roads, CA-132 to Viveda and CA-136 to Santillana del Mar, with regular bus services.
Five beaches - La Tablía, Los Locos, La Concha, La Ribera, and La Riberuca - offer different coastal experiences throughout the six-kilometer shoreline.
