Poised on the Bay of Biscay’s most picturesque coves, Santander looks more like Scotland than Spain. Lush green hills are silhouetted by the jagged Picos de Europa mountain range. And indeed, a strong Celtic heritage, not to mention a maritime link to the United Kingdom, has infused its customs and style with a British flavor. Today, the small city maintains a refined cosmopolitan air and attracts a large share of the country’s highborn and high-earning citizenry with its golden beaches, cooling Atlantic breezes, and understated luxury.
