Local Information

Santander is a very busy port and seaside resort on Spain's northern coastline. The city offers many attractions or the resort of El Sardinero is less than 2.5km away.

You can get here by ferry from the UK ports of Portsmouth or Plymouth with Brittany Ferries which sail across the Bay of Biscay.

The ancient city is very attractive with its wide tree line boulevards, esplanade, parks, gardens, shops and cafes. An casino, theatre and many other fine buildings were built for the wealthy aristocracy who were regular visitors here in the past. It still attracts wealthy Spaniards who holiday here.

Santander is divided into the commercial centre with shops, historic buildings and tourist attractions, and the resort of El Sardinero with the royal palace and the Gran Casino del Sardinero

There are three beaches or you take a 15 minute boat ride to the uncrowded and quiet El Puntal.
