Car rental Santander Airport
The Santander Seve Ballesteros Airport (SDR) is located about 5 km from the city center, overlooking the splendid bay of the Cantabrian Sea. The airport serves domestic and seasonal international flights, with low-cost connections from various Italian cities, and is the gateway to Cantabria, one of the most beautiful and underrated regions of Spain.
Santander is an elegant coastal city with the famous beach of El Sardinero, the Magdalena Palace (summer residence of the kings of Spain) and the Botin Center, an art center designed by Renzo Piano. With car rental at Santander Airport you explore Cantabria in total freedom: prehistoric caves with rock paintings, perfectly preserved medieval villages, wild beaches and the peaks of the Picos de Europa.

What to see from Santander by rental car
Cantabria is rich in attractions reachable by car from the airport: the Altamira Caves, the «Sistine Chapel of prehistory» with bison painted 14,000 years ago (visit the replica in the interactive museum), and Santillana del Mar, nicknamed «the village of three lies» because it is neither holy, flat, nor by the sea, but undisputedly one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.
Comillas, 50 km away, houses Gaudi's Capricho, a whimsical palace with ceramic sunflowers, and the neo-Gothic Pontifical University. Potes, at the foot of the Picos de Europa, is the gateway to the Cares Gorge, one of the most spectacular hikes in Europe: 12 km carved into the rock above a ravine. The Costa Quebrada, only 10 km from Santander, offers jagged cliffs and sculptural rock formations on Arnia beach.

Driving and gastronomy in Cantabria
Cantabrian roads are scenic but can be narrow in the mountainous inland. The A-8 motorway follows the coast from east to west, while the N-621 climbs towards the Picos de Europa through the evocative Gorge of La Hermida. Beware of coastal fog (orbayu) and frequent rains, typical of the Cantabrian climate.
Cantabrian gastronomy is worth the journey: cocido montanes (bean and vegetable stew), rabas (fried squid), Santona anchovies, sobaos pasiegos (butter cakes) and quesadas are unique specialties. Cantabrian cheeses, from the creamy de nata to the spicy picon, complete an excellent gastronomic panorama. Car hire in Santander is the ideal way to discover this green and authentic region.
