Túnel del tren de Pombo, Historic train tunnel in Santander, Spain

The Pombo Train Tunnel extends for 290 meters beneath Santander, connecting the central district with the Sardinero neighborhood through a straight passageway.

Constructed in 1892, the tunnel served as part of the second transportation system in Santander, featuring a steam locomotive called La Poderosa pulling three carriages.

The tunnel represents the early industrial development of Santander, marking the transition from mule-drawn carriages to steam-powered transportation in the late 19th century.

Open daily from 7:00 to 24:00, the tunnel provides pedestrians and cyclists with security cameras and lighting throughout its 300-meter length.

The tunnel contains an exhibition with augmented reality features allowing visitors to visualize the historical steam train through their mobile devices.
