Puerto Chico (Little Harbor) is the very core of Santander, from earlier times when it was the home of the city's fishing fleet. Pleasure craft moor here today and it offers splendid views of the bay and access to the Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria.

Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabarceno

Reviewed By Gonzolongo - Edenbridge, United Kingdom

You can’t really call this place a zoo as it is so different to the norm. The enclosures are huge which is great. It is one of the first places I have been where the animals are so active and I think this is due to the large spaces they have. The bear enclosure is the best example of this whereby you have to really look around the whole rocky outcrop to spot them. You do need a car. I would recommend at least 5 hours. There is a place to get a bite to eat which is fine, but I would recommend taking a picnic. Also entrance prices are not cheap so check online first where you might get a better deal. It’s a great day out and worth the journey.
