Santander's Unmissable Treasures
Santander’s landscape is defined by the early 20th-century Palacio de la Magdalena, the former summer residence of Spanish royalty, and the expansive Magdalena Peninsula. The city center features the Gothic Santander Cathedral and the modernist Mercado de la Esperanza, while the waterfront is home to the historic Palacete del Embarcadero and Jardines de Pereda.
