Facts and practical information

The Protestant Cemetery, also known as the British Cemetery or English Cemetery, is a cemetery located on Cardenal Herrera Oria Street in Santander. The cemetery is one of the few examples of Protestant heritage in Spain.

This is the only vestige of the stay in Santander of the British Auxiliary Legion in 1835.
