    Is it easy to find free parking in the city centre?

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před rokem +1

      We found it easy enough, lots of parking bays along the main boulevard and down side streets, and the locals were really helpful when we asked for help

    You should explore not only Santander, also the differents towns and villages of Cantabria
    I live in Valdecilla, near Santander, a small village, there is The Finca del marqués de Valdecilla, who founds The Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla un Santander

    Is November / December a recommended time to visit Santander?

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před 3 měsíci

      I'd say it'll be chilly around that time but probably fewer crowds!

    What time of the year did you visit?

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před 2 lety +1

      Visited in June - weather was breezy/cool in the evening but warm enough to go to the beach and get a lil tan on! About 24 degrees Celsius and low crowds :)

    Hi, how much cost rent a car in stantander?

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před rokem

      Hey! It depends who you go with but I paid around €340 for a Fiat Panda for 5 days with Avis 😊 booked in advance online and didn’t opt for extra insurance because I already had that covered under my travel insurance and credit card. Hope that helps!

    Can you still go to the zoo without a rental car? Can we access the zoo without a car and just take cable car to experience the zoo?

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před 9 měsíci

      Yes, you don’t need a car to explore the park. The cable cars are a good walking distance from each other and it’s easy to get around on foot. Just bring good shoes!

      Hey! Some places do but otherwise it’s unlikely! Brush up on some words beforehand :)

    You show nothing of the city of Santander itself.

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  Před 3 měsíci

      Hey, thanks for your comment. There are so many blog posts and videos on what to do in the city of Santander, so thought I'd offer something a bit different. Understand if it's not your cup of tea!
