Santander
Santander is the capital city of the Cantabria region. It is a vibrant and picturesque coastal destination known for its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and cultural attractions.
Its crown jewel is the stunning Sardinero Beach, a long stretch of golden sand that offers plenty of opportunity for swimming, sunbathing and relaxation.
However, the city is also home to the Palacio de la Magdalena, a majestic palace set on a peninsula overlooking the Bay of Santander. The palace, originally built as a summer residence for the Spanish royal family, now serves as a conference center and cultural venue.
It features an impressive facade, of which you’ll undoubtedly take plenty of photos (we certainly did!).
Additionally, Santander boasts a rich cultural scene with numerous museums, art galleries, and theaters. One of them, The Centro Botín, was designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano. It is now a contemporary arts center with regular exhibitions and performances.
