Description
Let the French emperor himself guide you on a walking tour through the history of Santona and the fortifications

Nestled approximately midway between Santander and Bilbao in the province of Cantabria, the town of Santoña is a fishing port that has an interesting history.
Such was its strategic importance that it came to be called "The French Gibraltar" or the "Gibraltar of the North".
Santoña is full of historical interest, from Romanesque churches to medieval forts, and a lot more besides. Strategically important by virtue of the mountain of Buciero, it once served as one of the headquarters for Napoleon’s troops.
