LA CAVADA AND THE ROYAL ARTILLERY MUSEUM


This is one oportunity to take a walk in a quiet envirorment and learn more about the Spanish army history. You take the FEVE train in the centre of Santander and you get out in La Cavada train stop, it´s the same train that goes to Liérganes. From there you can ask for the Museum ( it´s in the old schools) and also visit the arch and the few remains of the Royal Artillery Factory ( the people from the museum can inform you). The museum is 15 minutes walk and it´s in the middle of a nice neighbourhood.  It´s close on Mondays but it´s better to check the timetable ( 3 Euros is the normal ticket)  in advance in their website and also in the summer they organize some events. It´s a perfect trip for one afternoon but if you prefer to stay a whole day you can walk to the nearby Rucandio town, it has a perfect park around the church for a picnic and from La Cavada also you can take a train or walk to Lierganes ( the road is beautiful but be careful with the cars).
