Car

Those who prefer to drive can cross the border at Irún-Hendaya, taking the National Road 634, or the toll motorway A-8 to Bilbao, and then following directions for Santander. Once here, the visitor will realise that the city’s lay-out is along three main roads: Avenida de los Castros (with the University campus in its northern part), Paseo de General Dávila, and the road which joins Cuatro Caminos with the city-centre and Sardinero.
