Santander - worth a visit?

[Dan_1981]

Got a short weekend available & reasonable flights to Santander.

Is it worth visiting or is it just another ferry port type city?!

Nice place for a wander but check for local bank holidays

Bank branches are closing every few months in our town so I would advise to go to your local branch ASAP before it closes. Everything seems to be online these days.

Might need to make an appointment first as usually won’t see you otherwise.
There are other banks available too.

Be careful! There's alot to take into account and very little interest at the moment

[valiant]

Where do you live that you have to fly to your branch?

I’ve got one on my high street and it’s very nice and all but a weekend there may be pushing it.

Bloody Hell gents.

No, I don't fly there. I go online, it's cheaper

Or there's a Nationwide with a hole in the wall. Just past the chicken shop

I can confirm that Santander is lovely for a short weekend.

Not too much to do but if you get good weather, there's a very nice coastal walk, a nice 'old town' that isn't that old. And some lovely beaches.

Nice Michelin star restaurant on the beach too.... really reasonably priced too.

Few banks too.

Just a few more to tick off your bucket list then - NatWest. Barclays, Lloyds..

Halifax and The Piece Hall is nice.

They have a new HQ building being built in MK but its not open for visits yet.
