The Rain is Spain

by chrishc - last update: Nov 6, 2004

Fell mainly while we were there

Locals didn't speak much
A great place but we just caught some bad weather, wind and rain. The wind was great for the surfers though.

My wife (as ever) has a more comprehensive page already. nhcram.

The city didn't seem to have too much architecturally, but there were some lovely beaches (it seems to be a bit of a mecca for surfers).

There were also some nice garden areas.

Will definitely return, hopefully in better weather.

And when the sun came out briefly . . .

. . . I still got wet.

Hotel view

This was the view from our room in the Palacio Del Mar. The beach was behind the trees (or in front of them depending on your point of view).
You can see the sea

 Great pages , tips, photos and sense of humour! Next time we arrive there via the Ferry we will spend more than a couple of hours to get to know the town better ( as we always used to in Dover!)

 A most enjoyable presentation of Santander. Your photographs are quite beautiful, even with the rain and wind. What a hotel. Thanks for this lovely virtual tour.
