Santander has a striking new art museum, and it’s about to become one of the top reasons to add this corner of northern Spain to your list. Faro Santander<\/strong> opens on September 8, 2026<\/strong> as the new art, culture and technology centre run by Fundaci\u00f3n Banco Santander, housed in the historic Edificio Pereda right on the bay. If you’re planning a trip to Cantabria from that date onward, here’s everything you need to know before you go: what’s on show, how much it costs, how to get there, and what to expect once you’re inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is meant to be a living, open cultural space<\/strong>, with programming built around four strands: Art and Technology, Education and Mediation, Participatory Projects, and Public Programmes. Its opening comes with three major exhibitions, which we cover below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n If you’re flying in, we’d recommend renting a car<\/a> to get around Cantabria at your own pace. Don’t forget travel insurance with IATI<\/a>, and if you’re travelling from outside the EU, an eSIM from Holafly<\/a> so you have data from the moment you land.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
