For my trips to Santander, I usually stay about 15 minutes (by foot) from Parque Atlántico de Las Llamas, so this park is one of my main go-tos for my near-daily runs. Since this park is pretty far (by foot) from city center's embarcadero, there's rarely a lot of people in the park, especially early in the morning. Based on my very general estimates, the park's outermost loop is about 1.5 miles (2.5kms). In terms of running/jogging/walking, I find the park to be quite pleasant because it's pretty clean; the trails are clear and wide; and the terrain is really flat. Although the park has plenty of trees, I did notice that there wasn't much shade on the outermost paths. I guess this normally would not be a huge problem in Santander since the city can be a bit cloudy and rainy. However, during my recent visit (summer 2026), the sun was really bearing down on me. LOL, during my a couple of my runs, I was like: Man, some shade would be really nice right about now. But, I will say that the park has PLENTY of water fountains/spigots that has ice cold water that runners can use to cool off. Although I primarily use this park for my running/jogging adventures, I did notice that there are quite a few small playgrounds for the kiddies; some permanent fixtures for calisthenics; and some picnic shelters throughout the park. Also, the park has an interesting raised platform trail/walkway that goes through a small marsh. Final thought: While this park probably is not consider a site worth visiting (from a tourist perspective of let's see/do something exciting), I love the park for its tranquility and ease for running/jogging. read more
