Comarca de Santander, Port city in northern Cantabria, Spain.
The city spreads along the northern coast of Spain, featuring white sand beaches, green mountains, and multiple peninsulas extending into the Cantabrian Sea.
The settlement originated in 26 BC as Portus Victoriae Iuliobrigensium and received its city charter from Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1755.
The Festival Internacional de Santander brings music and dance performances to venues across the city, including the Magdalena Palace gardens.
The central railway station connects to major Spanish cities, while the airport provides regular flights and the port offers ferry services to the United Kingdom.
The Great Fire of 1941 destroyed much of the medieval architecture, leading to a complete reconstruction of the city center with modern designs.
