Discover the city center of Santander

An excellent location close to all services

Hotel Sol Boutique is located on Calle del Sol, numbers 31-33, right in the heart of the city of Santander. Staying in this 19th-century mansion, now transformed into a designer hotel, is an experience worth having.

There are plenty of activities to enjoy here, from exploring the urban surroundings to discovering its beaches, cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and exquisite gastronomy. Santander is known as one of the most beautiful and elegant cities in northern Spain. The city is structured around a vast natural harbor, which has played a significant role since before the Roman Empire. Although its historic center was devastated by a terrible fire in 1941, it still preserves the essence of the past. The old town blends perfectly with the modernity of this cosmopolitan and distinguished city.

A Walk Through Its Streets

To explore the city center, you can start your tour at Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where you will find the Mercado de la Esperanza, offering a great variety of products. Don’t miss the endless pedestrian streets surrounding the Town Hall, full of shops, businesses, and lively activity. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a beer, wine, or tapas, head to Calle Arrabal and Calle del Medio, two of the city’s oldest streets, located next to Plaza Porticada, now bustling with bars and restaurants. Be sure to try the rabas (fried squid), croquettes, octopus, or other local specialties. Nearby, you’ll find the Mercado del Este, now home to the Cantabria Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology. Other must-visit areas include the iconic Plaza Pombo, Plaza de Cañadío with the Church of Santa Lucía, and the Puertochico district, where the fishermen of Santander once lived. If you walk back along Paseo Pereda, you can admire the famous Banco Santander building, Plaza de Correos, the Pereda Gardens, and the Cathedral.

A Stroll Through El Sardinero

El Sardinero is one of the most popular areas of the city and the Santander coastline. You can start your walk along Reina Victoria Avenue, enjoying the beaches and other highlights such as the impressive Gran Casino, Mesones Park, or the scenic Piquío Gardens viewpoint. Other options include visiting the Cabo Mayor Lighthouse, Mataleñas Beach, the Magdalena Palace and its surroundings, the Botín Art Center, or spending a day at Puntal Beach. For breathtaking views of the city and the bay, we recommend taking the Río de la Pila funicular.
