Santander is a narrow city running lengthwise along the Bahía de Santander to the Mar Cantábrico, which is separated from the bay by the Península de La Magdalena. The few sights in the bay area constitute the city’s oldest surviving buildings. Situated in the vicinity of the Jardines de Pereda and the nearby Plazas de Pombo and Porticada, these generally date to the turn of the 20th century or later and include the Banco de Santander, the Real Club de Regatas and the Correos and Ayuntamiento. The one exception is the Catedral, though divine intervention has not spared it from the necessity of repairing the ravages of fire and time. This area is the commercial and social hub of the city, nearest the train and bus stations, the tourism offices and countless tapas bars.
