Holidays in Santander
The area and getting around
History museums and culture on every corner
Santander has a wealth of historical museums and architecture that highlight its maritime heritage. Check out the Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico and discover Santander's unique relationship with the sea. The Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria ranks high among European museums. A great portion of this museum is dedicated to Cantabria's prehistory which is celebrated through interactive displays in an inspiring environment. Definitely worth the visit to gain a fuller appreciation for the region.
An abundance of world-class beachesThe beaches of Santander will tick all the boxes for beach buffs. Crystal clear water, golden sands amid stunning natural scenery. The biggest surprise is that these clean, urban beaches are located right in the city's heart. To relax, head over to Playa de Mataleñas and hang out with the locals at this scenic beach located at the base of a cliff. To enjoy the best Santander has to offer, or learn how to surf, spend the day at El Sardinero.
Travellers and activities
Santander for Culture lovers
Culture junkies will love getting lost in the streets of Santander. Be sure to browse the works of art at the Centro Botín. Housing mostly contemporary works, Centro Botín is the modern pride of the region. Serious art lovers should also visit the Centro de Arte Faro Cabo Mayor. Other savvy things to do include strolling through the Gardens of Pereda and having a gastronomic experience compliments of the Flavors of Cantabria Gourmet Day Tour. Also, keep an eye out for street art, especially the "Alejar a la Muerte" on Calle del Río and the dog mural on Calle Valliciergo.
Santander for Nature enthusiastsWith all the wonderful beaches and mountains surrounding the area, who wouldn't want to spend all day outdoors? One of the popular things to do is to take the 50-minute hike over to Magdalena Peninsula and photograph all the sites along the way. Like the Marine Park, for instance, where you'll likely see penguins and sea lions as you pass through. For travellers who favor longer trails, there's the Camino del Norte which starts at Santander and takes you to Boo de Piélagos. This moderate 3 hours and 10-minute hike is part of a much longer trail to Santiago de Compostela.
Top 5 travel tips in Santander
1. Take a tour of Magdalena's Palace
For just 3 euros a person you can enjoy the jewel of Santander's stunning peninsula: Palacio de la Magdalena. Built in the 20th century, this is the place to get inspired with its colourful gardens, regal furnishings and stunning views of the sea.
2. Climb to the top of the LighthouseSantander's lighthouse called "Faro de Cabo Mayor", should definitely be towards the top of your sightseeing list. This 91-metre-high lighthouse, completed in 1839, is located within a park and boasts awe-inspiring coastal paths with incomparable views of Santander. You'll also find an art museum and a few restaurants in the area.
3. Shop savvy at Mercado de la EsperanzaSituated right in the heart of Santander, in a 19th century historical edifice, you'll find Mercado de la Esperanza, host to a wide variety of local products. This is a great way to connect to the local food scene and pick up some snacks. On the second floor there are vendors selling cooked delicacies for you to try.
4. Bar crawl at Plaza de CanadioPlaza de Canadio is practically the heartbeat of the city when it comes to bar hopping. To avoid the crowds, come before midnight. Or, show up late and party with the locals all night. Plaza de Canadio is where you'll find the best bars and clubs with quite the variety to choose from.
5. Try Cantabrian delicaciesFoodies are in luck, especially if they love seafood. Some traditional Santander specialties to keep an eye out for include: rabas (fried squid), cocido montañés (white bean stew with meat/chorizo and collards), quesada pasiega and so much more! Be sure to also try the famous Cantabrian anchovies.
