Astillero Shipyards

Highlight • Structure

El Astillero, also known simply as Astillero, owes its name to the fact that the shipyards that serve the Port of Santander were located in the municipality since the 16th century and are still in use today. The confluence of the estuaries and the coast of the bay forms a large expanse of wetlands where various migratory birds nest throughout the year.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (Santander)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (Santander) is located very close to the sea and its appearance is very austere if we compare it with others of the time.

The history of the cathedral dates back to the times when Santander was granted the status of jurisdiction in 1187, under the tutelage of the abbot of its church, this meant a great economic boost for the town with which the cathedral could be built and the castle, which was later called Puebla Vieja, as well as walls that defended the busy port and its inhabitants.

The current building of the Cathedral of Santander is made up of 2 overlapping Gothic-style churches. The lower one was built in the first third of the s. XIII is the parish of Christ and the upper one was built during that century and has had to be rebuilt and enlarged, in 1941 Santander suffered a fire that affected this part of the Cathedral.

Centro Botín

Highlight • Monument

A must-see tourist attraction in Santander. The building, designed by Renzo Piano, fits perfectly with its surroundings and there are excellent exhibitions (fixed and temporary) of fine art. Enjoy the beautiful views from the roof terrace and have a coffee or a snack in the cafeteria. You can buy tickets online at centrobotin.org.

Somo Beach

Highlight • Beach

Somo beach is undoubtedly one of the best Spanish and European surfing spots. There are waves almost every day of the year, there are plenty of schools and the atmosphere is very fun. Somo beach is located between Puntal and Loredo beach, another mythical surfing spot in the north of Spain.
