As Bilbao takes a majority of the tourists to the area, Santander is left mostly quiet and pristine if you're looking for a small, quaint city to explore. Known as one of the most beautiful boardwalks in the land, Santander was built with the sea-scape in mind, and a lot of the more tourist-y things revolve around the sea. The shops, hotels and activities are heavily reliant on the beach's influence. Walking through the city of Santander will leave you in a whirl of historical significance that has been perfectly preserved since the 1700's, with cathedrals and plazas still as pristine as the day they were created.
