Solana

(Temporarily closed for refurbishment) Solana is impressively situated just a few metres from the Santuario de la Bien Aparecida, the patron saint of Cantabria. If you’re looking for a picture-postcard view of the Cantabrian mountains you won’t find a better location than this, where the views from your table transport guests to a world of green meadows where cows can been seen grazing nearby.
Chef Ignacio Solana, alongside his sister Inma (sommelier and front of house manager), showcases contemporary cuisine with strong traditional roots that is faithful to both the sea and the mountains but with a nod to tradition and a constant love affair with seasonal vegetables sourced from the market gardens of the Bajo Asón area. The chef shares the à la carte with his mother Begoña, who focuses on more traditional dishes (anchovies, cod fritters, stews, etc) given that many guests request dishes from both mother and son!
