Museu de Cantereria / Museo de Alfareria

The Pottery Museum is based in an old ceramics factory of the early 20th century, recently rehabilitated. The building preserves the original factory facilities, such as the Arab kilns, the clay decanting basins and the workshop area, giving visitors a unique experience. We suggest a tour through everyday items, when plastic was unheard of and pottery was essential for day to day living. You'll discover the endless shapes that a pitcher can have and you'll learn the pottery manufacturing process, from preparing the clay through to modelling on the wheel and firing. I f you want a unique experience, you can go inside one of the Arab kilns.

Prehistory and Archaeology Museum of Cantabria

Reviewed By Elmo_Putney_00

This museum is incredible. Just WOW ... I was blown away!! I like this sort of historical museum and have recently seen the likes of New Grange (near Dublin) or the History Museum in Bordeaux (Musée d'Aquitaine) which has a lot of information about cave art and details the same period, but honestly this museum of Cantabrian Prehistory was an absolute gem, and a MUST SEE. I learnt so much about the history of the region. The displays are beautiful, English translation is widely offered on exhibits. Because I enjoy this sort of place I visited the archaeological museum in Bilboa, which was okay ... but really and truly Santander sets the benchmark for me. Beautiful exhibits, friendly staff, very good entry fee. This museum alone is worth visiting Santander for. Wonderful. The imagination, communication and knowledge of the curators is incredible. They have created something truly special.

CosmoCaixa

CosmoCaixa offers its visitors a whole host of activities and permanent and temporary exhibitions to give anyone who is interested a greater insight into the world of science. The museum’s most distinctive attractions include the new permanent exhibition “The Universe Gallery” where visitors can learn about the cosmos and its evolution from the big bang to the present day. An interactive experience beginning with the creation of the cosmos and going on to explore the evolution of the species and the innermost workings of the human brain. The "Flooded Forest” recreates the ecosystem of the Amazon inside a glass house covering an area of 1,000 m2, which is home to piranhas, crocodiles and other animal and plant species typical of the area, and the “Geological Wall” consists of seven vast sections of genuine rock that allow us to interpret the world’s geology.

Entry is only €4 per person (adult) which is a bargain then you can pay extra for certain exhibits such as a planetarium. There is enough to see and do without these but if you have children it is worth considering as they seemed to be more aimed at kids. The main attraction is the flooded forest which was beautiful to see and the second main attraction was a large science room with a great many interactive activities which were entertaining and educational for children and adults alike. If you do have children you could easily spend a good few hours and make a day of it. As two adults we spent far longer here than at the aquarium and so this museum is very good value for money. Didn't have any issues as an english speaker as all information signs had full English translations. There's lots to do and learn for children and I imagine it would keep them well entertained. I would also recommend adults without children to visit, as there is much to reflect and learn about as an adult whether it is about protecting our rainforests, the increasing reliance on robot technology or even to just remember your childish curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A bit out of the way of the main more touristy parts of the city but easy enough to get to on the metro then a short walk (but be warned that it is uphill). Has picnic and restaurant facilities.

Ferreria de El Pobal

El Pobal Ironworks is located in Muskiz, in a beautiful bend of Barbadun River, whose water power up this old hydraulic device that made iron for more than 500 years. This foundry, which has been declared Monumental Complex, is the best preserved of the many that existed in Biscay and the only one that has survived until our days with a good part of its machinery. During the visit, you will enjoy a practical demonstration in the forge and in the metal workshop. Without a doubt, it represents one of the most remarkable elements of our historical and cultural heritage. The Foundry was built at the beginning of the XVIth Century by the Salazar, the lineage that dominated this region named Encartaciones. During the XVIIIth Century the installations and the hydraulic infrastructure was completely rebuilt and at the end of the XIXth Century the foundry was converted into a metalworking workshop that extended its productive life until 1965.

MUSEO DEL TITERE - (Museum of the puppet)

Museo dedicado al mundo del títere, gestionado por la Fundación Municipal de Cultura del Ayuntamiento de Cádiz (España)

Reviewed By CnMBath - Bath, United Kingdom

If you love puppets you'll love this museum. Unfortunately it's all in Spanish, but the quality and beauty of the puppets almost doesn't need any explanation. The museum is open all day and is free, so if you want a relaxing hour wandering amongst puppets in the cool this is the place for you.
