Bus from Santander to Burgos (and then to Madrid) is good and cheap, and scenic. Price (October 2006) 10.12€ one way. And the same again to Madrid. Company is Continental Auto, times are:
Santander to Burgos
8.00, 10.30, 16.30, 19.00, 0.30.
But check for holidays, weekends, and Fridays which all have slight variations.
Journey time is around three hours to Burgos, and the same again to Madrid.

Another way to Santander from the UK is to use Brittany Ferries. They sial from Plymouth and Portsmouth, once a week from each. Crossing time is 20 to 24 hours. Did this journey ourselves in 1991, a little choppy but very enjoyable.

The Feve and Renfe train stations are next door to each other. We used the Feve service from Bilbao, a marvellous three hour ride through the mountains. In Santander change for trains on to Gijon, a journey we fancy doing in the future.

A busy provincial airport, a hub for Ryanair and saw a couple of departures for Iberia also.
A bus leaves every 30 minutes to the bus station in the centre, with a similar journey the other way.
Cost, Nov 2008, just 1 euro 70.

Hello "mate":
For me the train is not the best way to move in the North of Spain , at least is not the quickest
1 -At any case you must go to to the bus/train station from the airport ( see Santander travel tip ( http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9fb96/3e1cb/9/ ) )
2. To go to San Sebastian you may take the bus , it takes 3 hours and it cost 12.48Euros ( Normal bus)
To see details you may enter in the Alsa (Transport company ) that has an English version and you may see there all the details ( http://www.alsa.es/?portal.alsa.request.locale=en_GB )
You may go direct to SS , but if you want to go to Bilbao to visit it or to go to the Guggenheim Museum , you should take the bus in the same station
Buen Viaje !!!!!!

La forma más económica de transladarse del aeropuerto al centro de Santander , es coger el autobús que sale de la puerta del aeropuerto y va directamente a la estación de autobuses en el centro en 15- 20 minutos y cuesta 1.8 Euros
The most economic way to be transferred from the airport to the center of Santander, is to take the bus that leaves from the front door of the airport and goes directly to the bus-station in center , in 15 - 20 minutes and it costs 1,8 Euros

Plymouth to Santander is a good crossing. It is seriously fast now Brittany has introduced the new ferry - Pont Aven. The food is good. Vegetarian choice is sometimes limited in the restaurant, but there is always something in the cafeteria.
The full breakfast in the restaurant is also good as there is a huge cold buffet, and you can get greasy fry stuff as well.
If you are on a budget don't forget to ask about shared cabins - if you don't mind sharing with strangers. Brittany does this although the rival P&O on the Bilbao route does not. As it is only one night it is normally tolerable.
Don't forget if you buy or rent a property in France or Spain you can join the Property Owners Travel Club to get discounts on regular travel.

Santander is a very nice city in the north of Spain, but not a very touristy destination, at least for foreigners, just for Spanish people during the summer holidays, but it deserves a visit. . Pic:...
