The image portrays the famous Paseo de Pereda, the elegant waterfront of Santander overlooking the bay. In the foreground, the bronze sculptures of bathers by artist Jose Cobo Calderon, installed in 2005, represent female figures about to dive into the waters of the bay. On the pier, the Real Club Maritimo building can be glimpsed. In the background, the nineteenth and twentieth century buildings that characterize the city's seafront, rebuilt after the devastating fire of 1941. The variable sky with white clouds typical of the Cantabrian climate frames this promenade loved by Santander residents.
