I'm Marina, from Cantabria, and I'm very passionate about history, culture, and how to share them. I've always been interested in understanding places through their stories, traditions, and the people who live there. For years, I've been part of an association that promotes local culture and knowledge through various activities and projects. Lately, we've also been focusing some of that work on tourism, as a way to share all of this with the people who come to visit our towns and cities. On the tours, I try to tell the story in an engaging and accessible way, blending historical context, interesting facts, and anecdotes that help visitors better understand the places they're exploring.

Tour description
What if Santander were not just what you see at first glance?
In this tour, we will take a different walk through the city to discover its B-side: the stories that are not usually told. A city marked by the great fire that transformed it forever, by political decisions that changed its course, and by episodes connected with conflicts beyond its own streets.
We will talk about mysteries, unsettling events, unsolved cases, and legends that continue to be part of the local imagination. All of this through a walk in its most everyday spaces, but seen from a completely different perspective.
It is not a typical historical tour.
It is a way to look at Santander with different eyes.
