3 things to see
A perfectly preserved medieval village of golden stone and cobblestoned streets, Santillana del Mar costs nothing to enjoy: simply wandering the lanes, the main square, and the Romanesque collegiate church exterior is the whole experience. It sits near the replica of the Altamira caves and their famous prehistoric paintings. Small guesthouses and rural casas keep overnight costs reasonable, and the city of Santander is a short trip away on the Cantabrian coast.
