    It's a quaint, provincial city in the north of Spain (in fact, the northernmost provincial capital of the country). The Centro Botín, an art center, has great exhibits, though be prepared to endure some provincial attitude towards museums/art by the patrons (the staff, however, were excellent). Very good local food and a great city to stroll in.

    We stayed as a group of 4 friends (mid 40’s).

    We stayed as a group of 4 friends (mid 40’s). All of us absolutely loved the city, it was beyond our expectations. We really enjoyed the nightlife, with a huge amount of fantastic bars, cafes and restaurants, all of which were really friendly and helpful towards us brits who have a very limited ability of the Spanish language (we did try!). Everywhere was bustling and lively and we loved how there were numerous pockets of cafes, bars and eateries, and everything wasn’t just centred in one place. We tried all sorts of different foods but definitely enjoyed the plentiful tapas options the most, didn’t eat a bad meal while in the city. During the days we wandered for miles around the local area, took a walk out to Racing Club Santander’s football stadium and visited several of the beaches, all of which where stunning, clean and vast - we were blessed with gorgeous sunshine on our trip which made the beaches and a dip in the sea even better! We all canes away from the city saying what a fantastic place it was and could not recommend it enough. It was so refreshing to visit this side of Spain, that retains its identity and hasn't become a mass tourist destination. English isn’t widely spoken but everyone was so welcoming and friendly that it didn’t make it an issue and we always managed to order what we wanted. The other thing I can’t stress enough is the great value for money, food and drink is so reasonably priced, on average we were paying around €3-€4 for a beer or glass of wine! Loved Santander and will definitely be visiting again!

    This is a very walkable city, tourist information offices dotted about the city making it very easy to access the information you need, we used the one in the bus station initially for information about luggage lockers(we used the ones two floors down which cost four euros exchanged for a token for the day) as we arrived about 8am and needed somewhere to store our cases. Would also recommend the cafe for coffee and something to eat very reasonable priced. Every where is clean and we spent several hours just wandering around before going down to the harbour to sit in the sunshine and enjoy the views before heading to our hotel. The next day we explored the costal path to the lighthouse
