Santander Bus station confusion ... which bus station???
Posted: Wed July 29, 2009 12:30 AM UTC
I have been looking at ways to get from Santander to San Vicente de la Barquera. I found La Cantabrica, and this station is supposed to be at c/Cádiz & Méndez Núñes., across the Renfe Station - center of town near the Cathedral. I only have weekday schedules for this company.

There's also an Alsa which has weekdays and weekends ... station appears to be there.

* I will need to make bus - train connections twice and need to untangle this *

Guess one of my problems is that Google maps shows the little railroad tracks a little too far back from where the station is. I have actually walked out of this station (the FEVE). It looks like both Feve and Renfe share the space?

Any suggestions wether I should take La Cantabrica or Alsa?

Are the directions to the bus station right?

Thanks!

Comillas Transportation Santander-Comillas, and Comillas-San Vicente de la Barquera
Posted: Sat July 4, 2009 09:03 PM UTC
I am looking at different options to visit Comillas and have a day trip to San Vicente de la Barquera (if I find accomodations in Comillas that is).

(1) It looks like there's around 50 KM between Santander and Comillas - is it feasible to use a taxi? Any idea what the fare would be?

(2) Once in Comillas, are there taxi's in the town (to go down to San Vicente de la Barquera then return to Santander) ?

(3) Are both Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera walkable once there?

Santander Plymouth Santandar Ferry Need a Room?
Posted: Tue July 8, 2008 03:57 PM UTC
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.

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.

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 :)

Santander Hiring a cheap van for a week
Posted: Tue May 9, 2006 12:39 PM UTC
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!
