Introducing Santander
Most of modern Santander, with its bustling centre, clanking port and shapeless suburbs, stands in drab contrast to its pretty beaches, particularly the old-world elegance of El Sardinero. A huge fire raged through the city in 1941, but what’s left of the ‘old’ centre is a lively source of entertainment for the palate and liver, and has an atmosphere well worth stopping to savour. All up, however, Santander is a good deal more staid than its resort cousin, San Sebastián.
