There weren’t any. The bus didn’t run, and no one let me know. Evidently the bus only runs on the weekends until June. And even if it did, this Monday was a holiday - they never should have sold me a ticket. Not sure if they will refund me or not. ?

Excellent way to see Santander. We stopped off at the beautful headland once occupied by Royalty. Beautiful views. We did not take the boat ride as we had just got off a ship. Good commentary in a selection of languages.

Great experience, well operated coach service with clear maps and stops. Don't go to the Casino in the morning ! as it does not open until 2pm. The Viator eticket was not acceptable to the operator -.suggest hard copy to avoid haggling.
