This museum is incredible. Just WOW ... I was blown away!! I like this sort of historical museum and have recently seen the likes of New Grange (near Dublin) or the History Museum in Bordeaux (Musée d'Aquitaine) which has a lot of information about cave art and details the same period, but honestly this museum of Cantabrian Prehistory was an absolute gem, and a MUST SEE. I learnt so much about the history of the region. The displays are beautiful, English translation is widely offered on exhibits. Because I enjoy this sort of place I visited the archaeological museum in Bilboa, which was okay ... but really and truly Santander sets the benchmark for me. Beautiful exhibits, friendly staff, very good entry fee. This museum alone is worth visiting Santander for. Wonderful. The imagination, communication and knowledge of the curators is incredible. They have created something truly special.

It took us only 14 minutes by foot from our hotel. The museum is interesting and well-kept, but the best part of it is the park: perfect views, wonderful trees and exciting hidden corners:).
