The Bathers Sculptures in Backlight on Paseo de Pereda with Santander Bay in the Background

The photograph captures an evocative backlight on Paseo de Pereda, with the sun reflecting on the calm waters of Santander Bay. The bronze sculptures of bathers stand out as dark silhouettes against the bright sky, creating a dramatic and poetic effect. In the background, the mountains of the Cantabrian coast emerge from the haze. The Bay of Santander, one of the largest in northern Spain, offers protected waters where sailing and other water sports can be practiced. This perspective enhances the maritime vocation of a city that has made its relationship with the sea its identity.
