About Santander
Santander offers a completely different side of Spain from the sun-baked south — a graceful bay-front city with elegant belle époque architecture, sandy urban beaches, and a green, mild climate that stays comfortable well into summer. It's the gateway to Cantabria's dramatic coastline and countryside, appealing to travelers who want scenery and quiet over crowds and heat.
