Today we wanted to bring you to <\/span>Laredo<\/b>, which, alongside San Vicente, Castro Urdiales, and Santander, makes up the <\/span>“four maritime jewels”<\/b> of Cantabria. And, of course, to share with you our personal <\/span>list of gluten-free restaurants<\/strong> in Laredo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Laredo comes from “glaretum” and evokes the sandy and unique essence of this corner. The most precious treasure of <\/span>Laredo<\/b> is its exceptional nature: the <\/span>Regat\u00f3n<\/b> beach, an inland corner in the Treto estuary, and the spectacular <\/span>“Salv\u00e9”<\/b>, a ballet of beaches and dunes facing the Cantabrian Sea, awarded the “Q” for Quality. The 8,400 meters of coastline that house the municipality’s beaches are well worth visiting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, it served as an authentic royal port connecting with Europe. Nestled between the <\/span>Treto<\/b> estuary and the <\/span>Santo\u00f1a<\/b> bay, <\/span>Laredo is crowned as the tourist epicenter not only of Cantabria, but of the entire Spanish coastline!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town unfolds into three fascinating districts: The Old Town (Puebla Vieja)<\/strong> and the Suburb (Arrabal)<\/strong>, the modern Ensanche<\/strong>, and its extension to El Puntal<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Town and the Suburb<\/b>, declared a historic-artistic site in 1970, represent the medieval heart of Laredo. Winding alleys, known as “r\u00faas,” give life to this network, where iconic houses from the 16th to 18th centuries, such as that of the Mar family or the Marchioness of Arcentales, attest to its splendor. The Gothic jewel, the Church of the Assumption, rises majestically with its nativity retable, a marvel of polychromed Flemish sculpture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the vibrant <\/span>Ensanche<\/b>, up to the Plaza de Carlos V, beats the commercial, administrative, and service heart. Between this hustle and bustle and the Old Town lie the Villa’s great ports: the fishing port, where departing boats chase the treasures of the Cantabrian Sea, and the modern Laredo Marina, with more than 850 berths and amenities expected of a prominent marina.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Further on, between the <\/span>Plaza de Carlos V<\/b> and <\/span>El Puntal<\/b>, three winding avenues hug the town’s beaches. There, elegant residences and green spaces, witnesses to the urban boom of the 60s, give way to the hospital. Art and life merge in the squares and parks that populate the area, crowned by the Yacht Club at El Puntal, the cradle of Laredo tourism and host to prestigious nautical competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laredo’s festivities shine brightly, especially the passionate <\/span>“Flower Battle” (Batalla de Flores)<\/b> on the last Friday of August, a nationally renowned event that displays a parade of floats. And we cannot forget the feast of the <\/span>Landing of Charles V<\/b>, which attracts regional tourists in the second half of September.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that everything we have told you serves as enough of an excuse for you to come and discover this picturesque corner that was immortalized in the cantigas of Alfonso X the Wise, and whose lineage was even praised by Don Quixote himself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because we want you to enjoy your visit to this <\/span>seaside town<\/b> in an exceptional way, we cannot leave without giving you our suggestions so you can taste its gastronomic delights. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have put together a <\/span>top 3 list of gluten-free restaurants in Laredo<\/b> that we liked the most and where we were able to enjoy eating GLUTEN-FREE<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But be very careful! None of them have the ACECAN<\/a><\/strong> seal. As far as we know, no restaurant in Laredo has a completely sealed\/dedicated kitchen<\/strong> and, therefore, cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, and always based on our personal experience, we reveal to you the discovery of these 3 charming restaurants:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
