Monumento a Los Raqueros

Reviewed By JohnBishop3 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Thought this sculpture was very cool and in an easy place to get to it. Thought the boy diving was a unique touch.

Catedral de Santander

Reviewed By EleanorStoneham

There is the cathedral itself - open 10-1 and 4-7.30 - and 2 euros only (1 euro for seniors) - then the cloisters which are beautiful - and the church in the crypt below the cathedral - the Church of Santo Christo - entrance free - where there are many interesting artefacts including the relics of the two early Christian martyrs San Emeterio (after whom city is named) and San Celedonio - all worth the visit. For me the church was the most interesting but the cathedral has some lovely stained glass windows behind the high altar and an intersting mural and look up at the tops of the pillars for the carvings. And all very peaceful and still.
