Information about Santander
Why Santander? Situated along the northern coast of Spain, Santander is a captivating city that provides residents access to sandy beaches, gastronomic experiences, and a wealth of cultural venues. Santander's crown jewel is Playa del Sardinero, a trio of beaches embraced by the Bay of Biscay. This coastal haven provides a perfect setting for enjoying sunbathing, water sports, and relaxing walks with your friends along the seaside promenade. One of the most unique aspects of Santander is its Magdalena Peninsula, which is home to a palace that allows for visitors, as well as beautiful landscaped gardens. The summer months bring an almost endless list of festivals and events to look forward to in Santander, such as the Virgen del Mar Festival and the International Festival of Santander. However, if you are visiting earlier in the year, you can catch the vibrant Santander carnaval in February or March.
