Where to stay in Somo
Somo is a small beach village, so staying close to the seafront puts you in the best spot for both the weekly market and the beach. Playa de Somo is your best bet, with a handful of guesthouses and surf-friendly accommodation just a short walk from where the market sets up.
If you prefer a bit more choice, the nearby town of Santander is just a short ferry ride across the bay and has plenty of hotels at every budget. You can cross over easily and still make it back in time to browse the stalls, which makes it a practical base if you want more comfort or amenities.
