Cabárceno Nature Park entry with cable car access in Cantabria. See 100+ semi-free animals, scenic rides, and big easy parking.
“El Safari Park me gustó mucho. Es un lugar muy bonito, con paisajes hermosos y animales preciosos. Sin embargo, hay algo que no me gustó: ya es el segundo año que vengo y el funicular no funciona. Pagamos 25 euros por la entrada y por segundo año consecutivo nos encontramos con que el funicular está cerrado. Es una lástima, porque afecta la experiencia.”
From Santander, visit Santillana del Mar and the Altamira Museum, including the Neocave replica and optional Santa Juliana church.
“We visited Santilliana del Mar and the Altamira museum with a guided tour led by Pepe. The tour was well organized, Pepe gave explanations both in Spanish as well as in English, and he managed the language shift very well, making sure everyone attending gets the information. At the end of the tour he gave us recommandations for restaurants in Santander which proved to be good. It was a half day well spent in Santander.”
