TRIPS TO SCENIC SANTANDER

Santander is the capital of Cantabria in the rugged north of Spain. It is a relatively small but impressive destination and is popular with locals but also feels quieter than other Spanish cities.  Its compact size and proximity to the rest of Cantabria and Basque Country and means it can act as a brilliant base for a few days or if you want a trip where you can take things slowly.

Whilst Santander is growing in popularity, it still feels off the beaten track and there are lots of places to escape from crowds. It a great option for travellers not wanting to fly too with regular ferries departing from the UK.

Some of our favourite things to do in Santander:

• head to Magdalena Peninsula, home to the grand Magdalena Palace which overlooks the Bay of Biscay. There are also meadows, parks and lighthouses to explore.

• sample the delicious pintxos (bite-sized tapas often served buffet style) in one of the charming restaurants or at sprawling Mercado de la Esperanza

• swim or surf at Playa del Sardinero, a beautiful blue flag beach

• visit the vast contemperary art collections at futuristic museum Centro Botin

• marvel at all of the gorgeous cathedrals and churches in the city
