Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
The capital of Cantabria, the port city of Santander is one of the most beautiful places to explore when vacationing in Spain. Much of the historic architecture which comprised structures made of small stone and wood were destroyed during the Great Fire of 1941, so much of what you will see today has a more modern design. Famous tourist sites that shouldn’t be missed are the Cathedral of Santander, the Lighthouse of Cabo Mayor, El Sardinero Beach, and the Palacio de la Magdalena. Our list also has a great number of restaurants where you can try authentic Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, making it the perfect addition to any trip in Santander.
