My last business trip before the summer break was a short visit to Santander 
in northern Spain earlier this week to participate in a roundtable at the 
Universidad Internacional Menend?z Pelayo, part of a week-long summer school 
session organised every year by the Spanish IP office. I flew there on 
Sunday evening, stayed in a hotel near the beach, gave my talk at the 
university on Monday morning and took a train back to Alicante around 
lunchtime (no flights in the afternoon, so a rather long 7 hour train ride 
was the only option to get back on Monday). So my sight-seeing was limited 
to a couple of hours on Sunday evening, and a 1 1/2 km walk from my hotel to 
the site of the event on Monday morning. Still, I saw enough to conclude 
that Santander is a beautiful place. I have often heard people here say that 
the cities in northern Spain are much nicer than the coastal cities here in 
the south of the country, mainly because they are much less affected by mass 
tourism. Certainly, based on what I saw in Santander, this is true.

A short gallery of 30 images, mostly from the area around the beach, and the 
Palacio de la Magdalena, a palace built around 100 years ago as a royal 
summer residence, today a conference centre and the site of the university 
summer school where I spoke. The magnificent dining room in one of the 
images towards the end is actually where the roundtable discussion took 
place.
