The magnificent building was constructed in 1915 by the architect Leonardo Rucabado Gómez. A huge collection of 42,000 books and more than 1,000 manuscripts once belonged to Spanish and philologist Menéndez Pelayo. The library is beautiful inside with its vast hall, filled from floor to ceiling with wooden bookshelves, wrought-iron balconies and carved columns. Look up to see the splendid stained-glass window above.

This small park in the suburbs of Santander is a great place for relaxation. Shady trees, low hills, a little pond and stone structures covered with greenery create a peaceful atmosphere. The park offers a great view of nearby beaches and the sea. A great place for meditation!
