Santander is a seaport, fishing center, and a popular resort. On the nearby peninsula of Magdalena is a former royal summer palace. An ancient port, Santander became, after the discovery of America, one of the busiest harbors of northern Spain.

There is an international summer university named for the writer Marcelino Menendez y Pelayo.
