I was planning a trip to Barcelona and wanted to arrange my transfer before arriving. I found Let’s GO Transfer and was pleasantly surprised by how easy the app was to use. Booking took only a few minutes, and it was great knowing my ride was already organized. Everything felt simple and stress-free. Thanks for such a convenient service!

What awaits you in Santander
The Magdalena Palace was built for King Alfonso XIII. Work began in 1908, and the palace became the summer residence of the king and Queen Victoria Eugenie. Since 1933 it has been home to the Menéndez Pelayo International University, which holds its summer courses and conferences there. The palace can be seen on guided tours, and you need to book them in advance on the palace website.
The Magdalena peninsula covers about 25 hectares. The palace stands at the very top of the peninsula, surrounded by a park. You can walk round it or take the little tourist train. Seals, penguins and sea lions live in the open-air marine park. The three galleons of the sailor Vital Alsar are on display there too, along with a copy of the raft on which he crossed the Pacific in 1970.
El Sardinero beach stretches for more than a kilometre. It is the most popular part of the city's coastline. Opposite the beach, on Plaza de Italia, stands the Gran Casino, which opened in 1916. Santander has surf schools, so you can fit in your first lesson on the day you arrive. If the main beach is crowded, walk on to the neighbouring ones: La Concha, El Camello with its camel-shaped rock, Los Peligros and Bikini.
From the roof of the Centro Botín you can see the whole bay. The contemporary art centre was designed by Renzo Piano together with the Spanish architect Luis Vidal and opened in 2017. Its two buildings stand on columns in the Pereda Gardens, level with the treetops, and partly overhang the water. Access to the roof is free, even if you are not going to an exhibition. Nearby on the waterfront are the Los Raqueros sculpture, in memory of the boys who dived for coins, and a stone harbour crane weighing 48 tonnes.
After the fire of 1941 the city centre was rebuilt. The fire destroyed most of old Santander, and the arcaded Plaza Porticada became the new centre. Close by stands the Cathedral of the Assumption, with the Church of El Cristo next to it. For lunch, head to the La Esperanza market, where fresh fish is sold, or to the bars around Plaza de Cañadío. Be sure to order rabas, as squid fried in batter is called here.
At sunset people walk out to the Cabo Mayor lighthouse. The 30-metre lighthouse stands on the clifftops of the headland at the northern edge of the city, and it is a good spot to watch the sun go down over the sea. If you come in July, you will catch the Baños de Ola festival, when the people of Santander recall how the first holidaymakers came to the city in the early 20th century.
