This will be a scenic tour in our minivan to see sights such as the Casino del Sardinero, the Racing stadium, and Mataleñas Beach, among others.

The tour culminates with a visit to the impressive Cabo Mayor Lighthouse, a prime location from which to admire the cliffs and the power of the Cantabrian Sea. A perfect ending that encapsulates the natural beauty and unique character of Santander.
