Santander is the capital of the autonomous community and historical region of Cantabria situated on the north coast of Spain. It is a port city located east of Gijón and west of Bilbao with a population of 172,000 (2017).^[4]

It is believed to have been a port since ancient times, due to its favorable location, and is documented as far back as the 11th century. Much of the medieval city was lost in the Great Fire of 1941. Today, its remaining old town, beach and other attractions are popular with tourists and other visitors and its economy is mainly service based. The port is still very active and a regular ferry service operates to the United Kingdom. Fish and seafood dominate the local cuisine. Santander notably houses the headquarters of multinational bank Banco Santander, which was founded there.

Installation

This scenery has two versions, you have to choose one:
- Full (High Detail): Download ezro-santander_1.2_part1.7z and ezro-santander_1.2_part2.7z and unzip both on same folder (use "Extract here" on 7-zip). You should end with ezro-santander folder which you have to place in Community folder
- Lite (Low Detail): Download ezro-santander-lite_1.2.7z (Main File) and unzip on community folder

Lite version has less detail so it takes less disk space. It is suitable for less powerful machines. It's also useful if you are not planning to fly at less than 1500-2000ft over the city, you won't notice much difference with the full version.

Known Issues
- This scenery is heavy and uses a lot of RAM. A high-end machine is recommended for the full version. If you have less than 32GB you may need to increase your page file and make sure it is placed on an SSD drive for better performance. If you still have problems you can try Lite version.
