These offices are distributed across the province to serve residents. You will find two offices in Santander, and one each in Castro Urdiales, Colindres, Maliaño, Reinosa, San Vicente de la Barquera, Torrelavega, and one listed simply as Cantabria.

SEPE offices are where you handle all matters related to unemployment benefits, known in Spanish as `prestaciones`. For any procedure at a SEPE office, you must always have a `cita previa`, which means a prior appointment. It is important to remember that SEPE is separate from the regional employment service. In Cantabria, the regional service is EMCAN (Servicio Cántabro de Empleo). EMCAN is responsible for your `demanda de empleo`, or job seeker registration. This includes signing up as unemployed and renewing your registration, often called 'sellar el paro'.

To get your `cita previa` for SEPE, you have two main options. You can request it through the SEPE electronic headquarters online, or by calling the national phone number 91 926 79 70. Appointments can be in high demand. If you struggle to find an available slot in your local municipality, try checking for appointments in nearby towns within Cantabria. Being flexible with your location can help you get the assistance you need faster.
