Can anyone recommend one?

I was considering a side trip before a conference in Bristol. The Brittany Ferry to Santandar seems a great choice. Do you need a room or could you go without considering the wide array of facilities on the ferry.

Hola a todos!
We will arrive in Santander by ferry on 28th July which we understand is a bank holiday. What are bank holidays like in Spain? Will we be able to buy basic provisions like milk? We are renting a casa in Viveda to the west of Santander.
Un saludo

Hi everyone. My wife and I are visiting Santander next week for a 2 night break. Ive had a look at the weather forecast and it is not good. I was wondering if anyone could suggest places to see / visit or things to do in the city. We are staying in the city centre. Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thank you.

We are thinking of flying with Ryanair from Liverpool to Santander. Have been told San Sebastian is lovely and need to know how far it is from Santander Airport and how we would get there. Would be better staying in Santander?

Where can one find a good laundromat in Santander with coin-op washers and dryers? I'm staying on Castelar for reference.

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to hire a student guide/translator to help us film a few locations in Santander this week (May 2nd through 5th 2007). Guide must speak Spanish fluently (Santander native preferred) and be able to translate into English.

We'll need the guide for- 2-4 hours for 2 or more days. Our schedule is pretty flexible. Pay is negotiable.

If you're interested or know of someone who's available please e-mail steinja@uvsc.edu ASAP

Hey,
I'm travelling to Somo on the 10th May for a surfing holiday and am staying at 'Hostal La Concha'. I'm arriving at Santander airport at 18.00. How would I go about getting from the airport to somo? I've read that it is possible to get a ferry from Santander to Somo but where so I get this from, and what time at night does it stop running.

Many thanks, Greg.

We would like to have a holiday in Santander and then go by rail to France.
From the map I have it appears that there is a rail connection between San Sebastian and Bayonne but I cannot find a site to give me any schedules . Can anyone offer some advice for going into France from the northern coast of Spain ?

Hi - I am trying to book a hostel/hotel in the town of potes for 12 people in May. I have visited before staying at casa cayo which was fantastic but unfortunately are undergoing renovations and are not taking bookings.
Does anyone know of 'traditional' style accomodation - with a few luxuries perhaps !
am having real problems finding anywhere with a website.

Hello,

Myself and 3 friends would like to visit Santander for a week in July. Can anyone recommend good areas to stay? How would I go about finding apartments (or similar self-catering accommodation) that we could rent for the week? We aren't hiring a car and so it needs to be accessible by public transport.

Thanks :)

Has anybody some information about the arival of Lodewijck Huygens in Laredo in 1660 ?

We are considering taking the ferry from Plymouth England to Santander. Does anyone know if the waterway is very rough for this voyage? Any other comments about the journey are welcome.

Thank you

We are planning a trip from Santander to San Sebastian in July 2006. And we need a van.
Hiring it from convential car rentals is just unaffordable (especially a van).

Can anyone give us some advice? Are there local car rentals? Private people? Insurance issues?....

Thanks a lot!

Me and my girlfriend are hope to find some DELE courses during the summer in Santander.

But we are frightened away by the high prizes that are meantioned different places on the internet. Because we pay about 400 euros a month for a two room apartment here in copenhagen, and we are so naive that we were hoping to find something equal in Santander. We are students so we cannot afford much more because the spanish courses are also quite costy.

Do any of you know any newspapers or webpages where we can find cheap rooms during july and august. We just need one room and access to a bath and a kitchen. We might also be interested in a swap (like www.casaswap.com) for july and august.

Thank you for your help in advance

Hi,

Does someone know the actual duration of flight time with ryanair from Stansted to Santander?

I'm a nervous flier. So hopefully if its not too long I'll feel more relaxed.

I'm hoping its not much longer than about 90 minutes from take off to touch down.
