Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Santander: Curved bay, tidy promenade, and the Magdalena headland. Visit Centro Botín for water views and art. Beaches sit within a leisurely stroll. It’s a gentle city made for walking.
- Getxo (for Bilbao): Seaside town linked by metro and the Vizcaya Bridge. Bilbao’s Guggenheim and pintxos bars are a quick hop inland. Stay local for clifftop paths and harbour cafés. City or coast—both work in a single day.
- Gijón: Broad beaches and an old town. Cimavilla’s lanes lead to viewpoints and Roman remains. Sidrerías dot the streets for a simple lunch stop. It balances sea air with easy heritage.
- A Coruña: Atlantic promenade and the Tower of Hercules lighthouse. Maria Pita Square anchors the old quarter. The fine arts museum and cafés cluster nearby. It’s a neat loop from pier to peninsula.
