Capital of the rugged green coastal region of Cantabria, unsung Santander shares some of the characteristics of nearby Basque destinations Bilbao and San Sebastian, yet without holding a candle to either. Like the latter, it is set on a fine bay, with attractive urban beaches and royal connections - and, like Bilbao of yore, it is making the first tentative steps towards reinvention, with a sleek new museum and a number of spots offering inventive tapas. Certainly, when in Spain, there are far worse places to find yourself than Santander .

Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes : Located near the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall), the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts has some interesting Goya paintings, notably his portrait of Ferdinand VII, commissioned by the city, and his series of etchings called Disasters of War. You can see some of his continuing series of Caprichos (Whims). See also Zurbarán's Mystic Scene and an array of works by Flemish, Spanish, and Italian artists, many of them contemporary.

Catedral : Greatly damaged in the 1941 fire, this restored fortresslike 13th-century cathedral holds the tomb of historian/writer Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo (1856-1912), Santander's most illustrious man of letters. The 12th-century crypt with a trio of low-slung aisles, untouched by fire, can be entered through the south portico. The Gothic cloister was restored after the fire. Roman ruins were discovered beneath the north aisle in 1983.

Santander has a number of lively festivals and events, which take place throughout the year, in and around Santander. You can travel Santander anytime during year.
