Excursion Cantabrian wine tasting tour at Santander

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Enjoy a panoramic drive that introduces you to the charming seaside city of Santander. As your coach gently winds through the city, pass by the lush Pereda Gardens and the bustling Puertochico area, before heading toward the picturesque Magdalena Bay and Peninsula.

This expansive 69-acre parkland is crowned by the Palacio de la Magdalena, the former summer residence of King Alfonso XIII. Surrounded by stunning gardens and offering spectacular views of the bay, the palace is designated as a cultural heritage site and a highlight of the region.

Next, enjoy a stop at Matalenas Beach, where you'll have opportunities for fantastic photo shoots of the scenic coastline and azure waters.

Your journey continues across the bay to a charming winery on the opposite side. Here, you’ll sample local wines while soaking in breathtaking views of rolling fields, the sea, and the bay of Santander—a perfect blend of natural beauty and regional tradition. Taste some local cheese to accompany the Cantabrian wines.

Note

Please note: This easy excursion involves only a small walk at Magdalena Park, with no stairs and minimal incline. The coach is not equipped for those wheelchairs, but guests with limited mobility may find the tour suitable and can remain onboard the vehicle at the Magdalena stop. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothes appropriate for the weather, and consider bringing along your preferred sun protection. The order of sights and activities may vary.
