Overview

If you are looking to immerse yourself in the history and architectural beauty of northern Spain, the excursion from Santander will take you to Santillana del Mar, a medieval village considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Its cobbled streets and emblazoned houses create a charming atmosphere, where the Collegiate Church of Santillana del Mar stands out, a jewel of Romanesque art that impresses with its majesty.

The gastronomy of Santillana del Mar is another attraction not to be missed. The cocido montañés, made with dairy products from the region and accompanied by the exquisite wines of the Liébana Designation of Origin, is an essential dish. In addition, the local markets offer a variety of cheeses, sausages and homemade sweets that will delight the most demanding palates.

On the same excursion, you can also discover Comillas, a coastal town famous for its modernist architecture and views of the Cantabrian Sea. The Pontifical University, designed by Antoni Gaudí, is an icon of modernism, along with the Casa de Sobrellano, not to be missed. Comillas is also known for its delicious gastronomy, with typical dishes such as fabes con almejas (beans with clams) and its famous cheeses.
