Sardinero: Santander

El Sardinero is the summer holiday area par excellence, where there are endless accommodation options (apparent to those who notice the avenue named "Hoteles"). Magdalena Peninsula is at one end, with its park and Palacio Real (Royal Palace), and Cabo Menor forms the northern border, with Mataleñas Park at the top of the cape. Between the two is El Sardinero cove, with four beaches called Camello, Concha, Primera and Segunda. These are ideal for sunbathing, swimming in the Cantabrian Sea, and enjoying the beautiful and unbeatable views of the coast. Other trips to be enjoyed while in town are visits to Jardines de Piquío (Piquío Gardens) and Mesones Park, a stop in at the Casino, and strolling along the endless strips of sand running out to the sea. © WCities
