Ryanair launches a direct flight between Budapest and Santander

Travelo.hu reports that the Irish low-cost airline introduces a direct flight to Santander, Spain from April 2018. There will be two flights weekly from the Budapest airport to the Eastern Spanish city, with the tickets available from this month.

Santander’s population is 180,000 and it is the holiday resort of the Vizcaya Gulf, and also the capital city of Cantabria. The port city’s downtown was completely rebuilt after a fire laid waste to it in 1941. We suggest taking a walk on its promenade girdled with palm trees or trying out a few of the excellent beaches there. If you’re interested in culture, then visit the Museo de Bellas Artes, where pictures of Goya, Zurbarán, and Mengs are on display, along with those of local artists’. A very rare whale skeleton and over 350 local fish are found at the Cantabrian Maritime Museum.

The most popular beach is the romantic and sandy El Sardinero, where the Gran Casino is located. Another one that should be visited is the Magdalena peninsula, where the sand shines like gold. If you’re at the peninsula, make sure to visit the palace, the lighthouse, and the zoo. If you’re looking for a calm and peaceful experience, then head to the Puerto Chico beaches, which are never crowded with people.
