Landlocked to the south of the Bay of Santander, this city of about 20,000 inhabitants has always been linked to shipbuilding. It is not really interesting in itself, except for its marshlands, a natural area of about 70 hectares that is now protected. It is frequented by more than 160 species of birds, depending on the season, which will delight ornithologists. There are also various species of flowers, more than 40,000 trees and shrubs as well as reptiles, amphibians and mammals. The city can be used as a starting point to visit the surrounding area. You will find several shops and restaurants, as well as a few hotels.
