Marina de Santander

Drove here after a day in Santander; all the spots were taken, but we were still able to park the camper right up against the fence without being in the way.

We found this to be a fine place for an overnight stay. Friendly harbor master. There is some activity in the harbor, which creates a bit of a buzz. We actually enjoyed plane spotting; there aren't that many planes flying anyway. It is easy to cycle to the city, although not a very scenic route (industrial areas are a bit of a neglected area), but the bike paths are fine. The night was quiet. There is electricity, water, and waste disposal. We paid €10.

The pitch is okay, with a view of the marina… but there is aircraft noise… anyone sensitive to noise should avoid it. For one night with electricity (7m): €10 longer stay: €15…
