Directions
Santander is the capital of the Cantabrian province. Located in a natural estuary that forms one of the most beautiful bays in the world, it is today a modern city that keeps the natural force that created it in its spirit: the sea. Protected by a fortunate reef, the bay that is home to the capital was and is one of the most attractive ports on the Cantabrian Sea. Cantábrico.

Santander enjoys extraordinary scenic beauty due mainly to its coastal location – a peninsula surrounded by the bay and the coast whose cliffs open onto the Cantabrian Sea. However, perhaps it is its beaches that are best known and appreciated. Its winding alignment bordered by 5km of coast gives tribute to both small and extensive stretches of sand: some sheltered from the winds with calm, quiet waters (Los Peligros, La Magdalena and Bikinis Beaches); others open to the Cantabrian Sea, with better surfs (El Camello, La Concha, La Primera, La Segunda, and Castañeda, Molinucos and Mataleñas Beaches). Among these beaches, green spaces of outstanding beauty appear on the coast, such as Piquío, with

its characteristic gardens that sit above a rocky enclave that separates the two beaches at El Sardinero like the prow of a boat cutting through the sea. Nearby, and filled with plants and trees, the Magdalena Park (on its own peninsula) faces onto Mouro Island and the powerful Cantabrian Sea and is, alongside the Royal Palace, picture perfect and typical of Santander.
