There are a variety of routes to discover
Cantabria:
SANTANDER AND AROUND
The
capital of Cantabria, Santander, boasts a wonderful promenade with some
fabulous beaches (such as "Sardinero") and "El Palacio de la
Magdalena", who actually lived there at the time of King Alfonso XIII.
Not far from Santander can find other beautiful sea
towns like La Virgen Del Mar or Liencres declared a Natural Park due to
its famous sand dunes.
Eighteenth
century Cathedral. In July and August, free guided tours every 30
minutes. (It's in the center)
Paseo Marítimo. A good walk to admire
the bay one of the most beautiful in the world
On this journey we meet the ferry. Do not hesitate to take a leisurely boat
trip. There are several
options. They can
take a walk along the bay by boat or take the boat that usually comes
to Pedreña or Somo. I advise going to Somo, a walk
through the town (it has a beautiful resort and beach).
The Royal Site of the Magdalene is found in the
homonymous peninsula at the end of the Paseo del Sardinero. It is away from downtown, but there are plenty of
bus lines which stop here. It is
certainly the most emblematic of Santander, the symbol of the city and
fully bound tour. At the entrance of the complex include an information kiosk
and reception, which also draw tickets to tour the entire peninsula in a
little train (in winter from 9 to 13:30 and 15:30 to 18:30, in summer, all day).
Loizaga
Tower is an exception within the museums defendants because, unlike the
rest, has no connection whatsoever with the past of the region of
Vizcaya. On the contrary, is related to a world
far removed from the field and the silence: the engine. And in its most luxurious. What this
historic building houses within its walls is an impressive and extensive
collection of Rolls-Royce, whose value is hard to imagine.
The rectangular and top
battlements, the fortress of the fourteenth century custody over sixty
cars of all ages, of forty-two correspond to the legendary British
brand. Divided into six
pavilions, the show runs through the last hundred years of history of
the luxury car.
