Spain is always popular with tourists, but unlike popular places like Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Benidorm, and others, this underrated destination offers the perfect combination of city life and beach, and there are far fewer tourists. This is reported by Daily Express.
The city of Santander in Spain, which is located in the Cantabria region, is situated on the shores of a wide bay with many stunning beaches, hilly landscapes, and breathtaking views. There are also many restaurants serving fresh seafood and a shopping center on Alameda de Oviedo Boulevard.
“In addition, the city has a relaxed atmosphere and is much more peaceful than other cities in Spain. Enjoy the art and history at the Centro Botin Museum of Contemporary Art or take a tour of the historic Magadelena Palace, which was built in the early 20th century. An interesting fact is that the popular bank Santander also takes its name from the city, as it was founded there,” the article states.
Recently, a vacationer named Ali shared her impressions of Santander on the Internet and called it her “favorite hidden gem”.
“I stopped visiting tourist spots in Spain and discovered this hidden gem. The Spanish say it has the best beaches in Spain,” she said.
The tourist noted that there are many different beaches for swimming and water sports.
Listing her favorite places in Santander, she added:
“The city is beautiful, very cheap housing, escalators all over the city, so you don’t have to go up steep slopes. Did I mention the beautiful beaches? Every day you will have a new place to watch the sunset. Quiet areas without tourists.”
One of the tourists called the city his “favorite place in the world.”
“Not only is Santander incredible, but so is all of Cantabria. Highly recommend and it’s quite small so very easy to get around by car,” commented another visitor.
