Venue & Logistics
CITY VENUE
Santander is a port city, capital of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria and located on the northern coast of Spain.
With its tradition for tourism thanks to the variety of its landscapes, its beautiful beaches and promenades and its important cultural and gastronomic offer, Santander is today a modern and cosmopolitan city with a rich historical past, chosen by many professionals for holding conventions, congresses or company meetings.
A complete social and cultural infrastructure combined with a large variety of services have made the capital of Cantabria a welcoming city for travellers who arrive just to visit it and to professionals who come to our city for work but also to enjoy its charm, its culture, its people and its atmosphere. The beautiful environment that surrounds the city never leaves the visitor indifferent.
Among its many tourist attractions we must highlight its wonderful bay, which bathes the southern part of the city and is considered one of the most beautiful bays in Spain. We cannot forget the Lighthouse or the magnificent Sardinero, which make our city one of the best venues in the world for holding a congress or a conference.
The possibilities offered by Santander to the delegates and the accompanying persons are endless.
