Tour description

On this tour, you will understand how Santander evolved from its ancient origins to the modern city that looks out to the sea today.

We will explore the historic center through its history, customs, and flavors, which I call the 'gastronomic monuments'. Sobaos, quesadas, cheeses, stews, seafood, and much more.

We will visit the most emblematic spots of the city's historic center, taking a journey through time from the 1st century BC, through the Middle Ages, the 19th century, and ending with the most modern Santander.

What you will discover with me on this tour:

Mercado de la Esperanza.
Santander City Hall.
Plaza Porticada.
Santander Cathedral.
Centro Botín.
Bay of Santander.
Mercado del Este.
Palace of Festivals.
Sobaos and quesadas
And much more...

At the end, I will be happy to recommend local places to eat and continue enjoying Santander.

*A minimum of 5 people is required for the tour to take place
