Santander Airport is an international airport located near the Spanish city. It is the only airport in the whole of Cantabria, with respectable passenger traffic; despite the fact that, in recent years, there has been a decline. The airport is named after the famous local golfer Severiano Ballesteros, who passed away in 2011.
There is a duty free at the airport, and a very small number of bars and shops. Free wifi is available in the terminal for all travelers. Just connect to the “free wifi aena” network, by registering aka your email, or using your Facebook profile.
