Apartamento La Gloria, Gibaja Overview
Apartamento La Gloria is located in Gibaja, Spain. Rated 9.3 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Apartamento La Gloria is a family-friendly stay in Gibaja, Spain, well suited to travelers who want a calm base while still reaching the Cantabrian coast and nearby attractions by car. Set in Barrio la Quintana, the address at Barrio la Quintana 73 1/1D makes it easy to come and go at your own pace, which is especially handy for road trips. With a guest rating of 9.3/10 from 7 reviews, the overall impression is consistently positive, with visitors highlighting the quiet, practical setup and the way the property supports different travel styles.
On-site downtime is a big part of the appeal.

Cabárceno Nature Park is about 25 km away, offering a full outing that’s popular with families, while Castro-Urdiales—roughly 25 km from Gibaja—pairs beaches with a walkable old-town feel. If you’re aiming for a bigger city atmosphere, Santander is about 50 km away for bay views and longer sightseeing days.
