Best locations for vacation photography in Santander

For vacation photography in Santander we choose the spots that best fit the session's style:

Sardinero Beach. Shoot at early morning when the low tide leaves the sand mirror-smooth and the soft side light models the dunes with the Piquío Gardens in the background.

La Magdalena Palace. Place the subject on the lawn before the English-style façade with the sea behind, shooting in mid-afternoon when the palace catches warm frontal light without harsh shadows.

Botín Centre. Use the elevated walkways and the pearly ceramic façade at sunset, when it reflects the sky's pink tones over the bay.

Cabo Mayor Lighthouse. Position the figure on the cliffs west of the lighthouse to capture the backlight of the setting sun over the Cantabrian Sea.

Styling and wardrobe for your session

Wear comfortable, summery clothing that matches the setting, suitable walking shoes and, if you like, a change of outfit to vary the backdrops.

Summer is mild and green, perfect for beach sessions without extreme heat, while winter brings rough seas and dramatic atmospheres on the cliffs.
