The area around Cabo Mayor lighthouse is a spectacular sight to behold–on stormy days, waves scenically break against the cliffs leading up to the lighthouse. Entry to the lighthouse is free of charge.
Do & See
Santander is a city favoured by Spanish holidaymakers–the abundance of beautiful sandy beaches, natural parks, and dramatic cliffs make it perfect for the outdoorsy. However, a lively nightlife and curious museums (one that certainly deserves attention is the Cantabrian Prehistory and Archaeology museum) ensure there is something for everyone. For a day trip out of town, head to the scenic village of Santanilla del Mar or the prehistoric caves at Puente Viesgo.
