About Santander
===============

Santander is a beautiful city located in the North Coast of Spain, in
the region of Cantabria. It enjoys an extraordinary landscape mainly
due to its coastal location, forming a peninsula surrounded by a bay,
and its cliff coastline open to the Bay of Biscay. But perhaps the
beaches are its best known and appreciated natural spaces. Its sinuous
outline offers both small and large sandy beaches: some sheltered from
the wind and with calm waters; others, open to the Bay of Biscay, with
more surf. Next to these and between them, green spaces of great
beauty look to the coast.

Santander has beautiful surroundings with many possibilities for
cultural and outdoors activities. The region of Cantabria is located
in the central area of the coast of the Bay of Biscay and marked by
the rough relief of the Cantabrian Mountain Range. The main tourist
attractions of Cantabria are undoubtedly its landscape and privileged
natural environment, together with its great artistic monuments, such
as the many caves with prehistoric paintings, the roman village of
Juliobriga, the medieval village of Santillana del Mar, and many
more. For additional information on tourism and hotels see
http://turismo.cantabria.org/siting,
http://www.cibermedios.com/guia_cantabria, and
http://www.veu.unican.es/arte/.

Santander can be easily reached by aeroplane from all over the world,
via Madrid or Barcelona. It is well communicated by motorway with
Bilbao (1 hour driving distance), which has an international airport
with direct flights to and from many european cities. Transportation
between Bilbao and Santander is available by bus, as well as taxi or
rental car. A comfortable night train is available to/from Madrid. A
ferry boat communicates Santander with Plymouth (England) twice a
week, and it represents a convenient possibility for bringing your own
car from the UK.
