5Highly recommend it
The park scenery is beautiful and the villages are old and interesting to explore. We had enough time to walk about and enjoy lunch. The only negative is that the cable car was closed for repairs which just happened that morning. The operator was engaging and answered all our questions. It was a very enjoyable tour. Highly recommend it.

punctual pick up for what was a 9 hour tour. The road trip into the mountains was great, (I wonder if it would have been as good ona cloudy or wet day)Our guide took us into a couple of towns . The cable car ride(optional )was a real experience that I would reccomend.
5Picos de Europa
We had a Spanish guide for this trip as our English speaking guide couldn't make this day, however, and even though we don't speak Spanish, we had the most wonderful time, beautiful locations, from the Monestry to the Picos de Europa, absolutely beautiful, Potes was great but very busy and touristy so leave that with you to decide, great excursion though, lots of driving Ng but really good 👍

5Day trip to Fuente De
Small group tour of the Picos de Europa from Fuente De with an option to ride the funicular. Pepe, our driver and guide is knowledgeable and a safe driver. Pick up and drop off at hotels was a benefit.
5Stunning.
Love all the variety of sites. And the tour guide Maria I think, gave us plenty of time to explore in our own. The views were stunning. The history amazing.

About Santander
Santander is a seaside city on Spain's northern coast, with belle-époque beaches, a royal summer palace on a headland and a cool, green Cantabrian climate.
Santander, the capital of Cantabria, sits on a wide bay on Spain's northern coast, facing the Bay of Biscay. A fire in 1941 burned much of the old centre, which was rebuilt around the cathedral and the seafront gardens of the Paseo de Pereda. The Centro Botín, an arts centre by the architect Renzo Piano, juts over the harbour on pillars, and the Mercado de la Esperanza is the old covered market.
Top-ranked sights in Santander: Palacio de la Magdalena.
