Still looking for a summer sun
holiday that won't cost the earth?
We offer a choice of villas and cottages in
Northern Green Spain including Galicia, Asturias,
Cantabria and the mighty Picos de Europa mountains
Many of our customers will enjoy a holiday abroad this year and, despite all of the current environmental issues concerning air travel, a high percentage of them will still fly to their destination. However, for the growing number of you who want to experience the warm Spanish sunshine without unnecessarily adding to the earth’s greenhouse gases, we have a solution.
Journeys by air are highly carbon intensive and we are now being encouraged
to fly less. Just to put it into perspective, a family of
four taking a return flight from London to Santander produces
on average 1.12 tonnes of carbon emissions; the same family
travelling by ferry and car will produce on average .32 tonnes
– less than a third of those produced by flying*.
So if you are looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint (or simply can't face another airport this summer) then look no further. By choosing a holiday with us in the lush green north of Spain, we offer you a selection of beautiful villas, apartments, cottages or country houses in Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria. From quaint fishing villages and superb coastal resorts, to enchanting villages nestled amid the fabulous Picos de Europa mountains; whatever your choice of destination all of our northern green Spain villas can be reached easily within a day’s drive from Bilbao or Santander ferry ports.
Just imagine, your holiday can begin with a leisurely mini-cruise across the Chanel on board a luxury ferry; you arrive in Spain refreshed and relaxed, ready to drive through beautiful scenery on the journey to your villa – all this without the hassle of airport check-in queues, flight delays and cramped aircraft seating – but most importantly you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and helping to limit potential damage to the environment.
