Self Guided Santander Scavenger Hunt
Overview
This activity has been designed by a local ‘expert’, who has created a fun experience that takes you to some of the town’s highlights and the lesser-known places, away from all the tourists. The puzzles are designed to help you experience the place from a different perspective – using landmarks, murals, statues etc - and you’ll even learn some ‘fun facts’ along the way.
The self-guided aspect of this activity means that you can rush through as fast as you like or stop for a drink or something to eat as you like. The app remembers your progress and even allows you to complete your Adventure Hunt another day.
This activity aims to strike a fun balance between challenging puzzles, a fun outing with friends and family, and a pleasant walk around outside.

What To Expect
This is a new outdoor escape room experience in Santander. It is similar to treasure and scavenger hunts. Each puzzle uses items in plain sight: murals, buildings, landmarks, water features, statues, play areas, or information boards. The questions are designed to make you think and pay attention, making for a fun group activity.
The App helps you navigate between puzzles without simply asking you to follow a map. Hints can be used if you need assistance solving any of the puzzles.
This Adventure takes place in the heart of Santander, beginning at the historic Plaza Porticada. From there, you’ll journey through the city’s charming streets, uncovering hidden gems, cultural landmarks, and unique local features as you go. Each stop reveals a clue that brings the city’s stories to life, painting a colorful picture of Santander through time. You’ll also be suggested a few optional detours and additional sites to visit that you may complete during or after the hunt. The route ends back at Plaza Porticada with the waterfront just a stone’s throw away, giving you a perfect chance to relax and soak in the views of Santander’s bay. The route covers roughly 3 km and consists of 26 clues.
