Surfers emerge in force along Sardinero when the waves are right, mainly in autumn and winter, when they can reach 1.5m. Sardinero is backed by some of Santander's most expensive real estate, including emblematic early-20th-century creations such as the Gran Casino . Buses 1, 2 and 3 (€1.30) run east to Sardinero from Avenida de Calvo Sotelo beside the main post office.
