Back in the city centre, it is time to meet the sea again, which in Santander is never far away. Strolling down Casimiro Sainz Street, you will reach the "Little Port" or Puerto Chico, as locals call it. This picturesque small harbor used to be the hub of fishing activities in the past, but it now hosts a marina. The real fishing boats are now harbored in a characterless new district built in the XX century in the Marques de la Hermida area. However, the Puerto Chico and the adjacent streets have not lost a bit of their maritime flavor. Indeed, some of the most reputable sea-food restaurants in the city are located in the area. Sample some of the local specialities in the classy Puerto Restaurant or go for a mariscada (a sea-food platter) in one of the restaurants on Tetuan Street.
