Institution Profile: University of Cantabria
Santander (220,000 inhabitants), located in northern Spain, offers an extraordinary landscape on the shores of the Bay of Biscay and has been described as Spain’s "most elegant city." While the climate throughout much of the year is rainy, Santander is full of beauty with lush green trees and rolling green hills surrounding the city. With this green backdrop, Santander’s beaches are known to be the best and most appreciated natural spaces, offering both small and large sandy beaches, some sheltered from the wind with calm waters and others open to the bay with more surf. Next to these beaches, beautiful natural areas look out over the coast, like Piquío with its emblematic gardens. Also the Parque de La Magdalena faces the island of Mouro and surrounds the Palacio de la Magdalena, the most famous view in Santander.

Sarah Jessica Parker
The praised reboot of ‘Sex and The City’, ‘And Just Like That’, was that necessary turn of the nineties series that marked the entire millennial generation. Now, in a review of the events of the past where Carrie Bradshaw succumbed to the events of her youth, the new HBO Max series contemplates the same group of friends going through the crisis of their fifties and with all the complexity of circumstances quite different from the ones seen in his first series.
Joshua Jackson
Paramount+ features a series that is the reimagining of ‘Fatal Attraction’. While it shares a lot with the iconic original film, it is also a critic of the entitlement of the 80’s and a piece that shows how we get affected by midlife crisis.
Brian Cox
The time has come to find out who will be the final heir to “Succession”, the series with which HBO Max continues to show that they are capable of producing the best series of the moment.
