It lies just 20 km outside the regional capital of Santander and boasts great road connections. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Relax in the Torresport’s impressive spa facility, where you will find steam baths, saunas and a spacious gym. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). After a workout, head to the experience showers, Jacuzzi or spa pool to cool off. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. You can even pamper yourself with a massage or beauty treatment available in the centre. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Finish off you day by choosing from the delicious dishes served in the hotel restaurant, or with a drink from the cafe-bar. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal.
