Cheap flights from Dublin to Santander from £72

Santander is a bike-friendly city. Exploring its magnificent coastline on a bike is a top-notch experience! You have plenty of routes to choose from. The two-wheeled transport is available for hire at various points around the city. Just release a bike using a credit card and return it to a bike station afterwards.

Even if you’ve already finished your meal, the Spanish waiting staff is unlikely to rush to you with a bill. Locals may sit at the table for hours, so bringing the bill without being asked is considered rude. When you decide to leave, just say ‘la cuenta, por favor’ (‘the bill, please’).

The secluded building stands in the middle of a small island of the Virgen del Mar. It is accessible through a bridge, though you can just walk there from the mainland during the low tide. The hermitage itself is a simple-looking 17th-century building. The real beauty is in the area where it stands. Great cliffs, sandy beaches, and the sea come together on this island, providing a picturesque background. That scenery is definitely worth the effort of getting there!
