When we let our imagination fly towards our perfect holiday, we think of a destination that offers a wide range of leisure activities, but also relaxation; a wide gastronomic and hotel offer for all budgets; the convenience of arriving by different means of transport; of being able to enjoy it with friends or with the family?
Undoubtedly, it is a decision for us, for our enjoyment. That's why we invite you to discover this summer the holidays you've been longing for. Your destination is Santander.
If there is one thing we can boast about in Santander, apart from our incredible beaches, it is our excellent gastronomy, awarded with Michelin Stars, as in the case of El Serbal and La Casona del Judío, as well as many other establishments with the famous Soles and Soletes Repsol. Santander is an Extraordinary Dining City with seven gastronomic areas where you can enjoy the most typical dishes, pinchos and exquisite sweets.
And accompanying a good dinner with Santander's summer nightlife is something not to be missed during your visit. The atmosphere is guaranteed, on the terraces of El Sardinero or in the terraces of Cañadío, as well as in the lively Río de La Pila, there is always room for those who want to have a good time and enjoy the pleasant temperature of the Santander night.
The beauty of the Cantabrian Sea lies not only in our magnificent beaches, but is also reflected in our Bay, one of the most beautiful in the world.
A symbol of natural wealth that is expressed in a promenade where you can enjoy this environment and some of the main places of interest in the city, among which we highlight the Botín Centre for its magnificent architecture designed by Renzo Piano and its cultural programme.
When talking about the summer in Santander it is inevitable to mention the Baños de Ola or the Semana Grande, these are two of the most significant festivals of the Santander summer season and reflect the culture and tradition of an entire city.
Music plays a very important role in Santander's summer, and it is common to see how some of the best national and international artists make the stages of La Magdalena and Virgen del Mar vibrate.
Santander is a special family experience. The pleasant climate of our city and its wide natural spaces offer incredible plans for, for example, enjoying a day at the beach in El Sardinero, which is always an ideal option, as is a family afternoon skating in the Parque de las Llamas or a picnic all together enjoying the unbeatable natural surroundings of the Peninsula de La Magdalena.
In Santander we have places that usually star in the postcards of our city, such as the Palacio de La Magdalena. Without a doubt, it is a must on your trip to the Cantabrian capital.
The parks are also places not to be missed when you visit Santander, where you can lose yourself, disconnect and enjoy natural surroundings that are hard to find in other cities in the world. One of them with enviable views is Mataleñas.
And if the natural surroundings are admirable, the museums of Santander are no less so. Culture should occupy an important place on your trip, and you cannot fail to admire the important collection of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Santander and Cantabria, the only museum in the world where you can see a Miró for free, or visit the Maritime Museum, the Museum of Prehistory or the centres of the Cultural Ring, which will allow you to learn more about the history and uniqueness of our city.
