Santander

And finally, I left for last, the main town of residence of my vacation, and from which went to other places I visited: Santander . And as I may say many things of Santander, and all good, just in time to write much, that reading is more than enough things online, Guides, books, etc. I will let down the rest and put a lot of pictures, But only be a small sample of what's on offer this beautiful city, I definitely recommend visiting if you have a chance.

To begin a photo of the arcaded square and a statue that is at the entrance

We can not miss the magnificent Cathedral of Santander

Also worth taking a long walk from the beach Sardinero a long way there and can see large seascapes, several tiny beaches, Mataleñas Park, the golf course, etc., up to the lighthouse. In this walk, I'll simply a picture of a garden Mataleñas Park and a photo that I like a cliff.

Three buildings also deserved my attention were the City Hall, one of which had heard before: The building of the Banco Santander Central Hispano, and finally the impressive Casino de Santander

Reaching the "Gardens of Piquio", you are also with strange figures of which I discuss only two,

Although Santander is its port, is not detracting from the small marina known as "Puertochico" which gives a nice view

Of course, I could not finish this post without some pictures of the beach, and although the quality could be better, I think so nicer day, so enjoy these two snapshots of the Playa del Sardinero

And finally, finally, I made ​​a few snapshots of various landmarks such as the Palace of the Magadela, the talk in this post , or the Bay of Santander, viewed from a trip on a boat can enjoy from other views, which from the city would not see.

Finally, a brief comment, is that if something good has Santander if you do not have much time to visit is that almost everything I put in a straight line is, yes, taking a walk if you do laaaaaargo walk , but recommended, or bus, as virtually one of the lines through all those sites.

For me, the ideal is to start at the Playa del Sardinero, leaving the car at the football stadium parking Racing Santander, and start walking along the promenade, reaching dinde Piquio gardens enjoy a nice view of Sardinero Beach.

Following walking, is linked to the Avenida de la Reina Victoria, enjoying a nice walk with excellent views, as well as other beaches such as Playa del camel, named for a rock that resembles the shape of a camel.

At the end of the Avenue, and movement towards the center, you have one of the stops on: The Palacio de la Magdalena . After visiting, and returning to the Queen Victoria Avenue, on our way, enjoying more beaches, including Playa de la Magdalena or the beach hazards, and the Yacht Club to get to Puerto Chico.

If you still have strength, enlazarás with the famous Paseo de Pereda in whose route and nearby you can enjoy a multitude of items such as Los Jardines de Pereda, the Santander Bank Building, Plaza Porticada, Cathedral, etc..

Everything said in the previous paragraph, is discussed in a very generic, without going into too much detail to give you an idea of what I have said before, that a lot of things, are very close to each other, although perhaps, to make walking once too.

Anyway, as I said, there are several buses going by the tourist areas.

So take what is written as a guide, but best to get an idea, is to catch a plane and see it, because I have many things left unnamed.

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures, and if you are thinking about a visit to Santander, not what you think!, Personally I liked it.

Be happy

The Picos de Europa and Covadonga

Following our visit to Asturias, one day we get closer to the Picos de Europa and Covadonga . Our intention had been to raise also the Lagos de Covadonga, but bad weather, so we did not, for another time, .

The Picos de Europa were not long or rode a cable car there (Which by the way must sound scary, especially when there is fog), so I just stayed a while watching the scenery and then we went to Covadonga then a few photos of the visit, which as you see there was enough fog :

As I said, after the Picos de Europa, we went to Covadonga, although we could not go to the Lakes, due to bad weather (BTW, idk if now is always true, but up to the Lakes, it appears that must be done in buses authorized for this purpose, you can not come up with your vehicle), so we were walking around, enjoying the scenery, and visiting the Monastery and the Virgin of Covadonga. Enjoy the pictures!:

No doubt worth a visit if you have opportunity, hope you like them.

Be happy
