Jardines de Pereda & Paseo de Pereda
Jardines de Pereda
Seaside gardens in the city centre. On one side is Pereda Avenue, lined with 19th-century buildings with glass balconies. On the other side it borders the Centro Botín and the bay.
The gardens are named after José María de Pereda, a writer from Cantabria, and his monument stands in the park. On the north side, Paseo de Pereda is lined with 19th-century buildings with white glass balconies and old cafés, making it the city's most elegant street scene. Walking east along the bay takes you past the Royal Wharf and the Maritime Museum to the Magdalena Peninsula. The flat promenade covers about 3 km, making it good for cycling, walking or watching the sunset over the bay.
