Nestled on the northern coast of Spain, Santander enjoys a breathtaking setting, perched on a small peninsula that extends between the Bay of Santander and the waters of the Bay of Biscay.

El Sardinero, a historic resort area, once favoured by Spain's affluent, graces the shoreline.
Beyond the sun-kissed beaches, Santander unveils its rich historical and architectural heritage. The Cathedral of Santander, a testament to the city's history, was constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries atop previous sacred structures, seamlessly blending Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles.
