Full description

To prepare your trip, we start by picking you up in Santander and show you the most picturesque corners of Cantabria and then take you back to the beginning.

The walk along the Juan Infante street will start to put us in situation and atmosphere. Get ready for a journey back several centuries, welcome to the Middle Ages!

The stone houses with wrought iron and wooden balconies full of flowers and family coats of arms and shields carved on their facades will make you feel like you are in a gladiator movie.

Let yourself be captivated by its scenic beauty as it is located in the centre of the Liébana region, at the confluence of four valleys and the mouth of the river Deva and its tributary, the river Quiviesa. We will walk along Obispo Street, the Barrio del Sol, the Barrio Colgante, the Plaza and you will see monuments and buildings with a lot of history. For example, the Infantado Tower.

After a stop for lunch, we head to the Altamira Museum, also known as the National Museum and Research Centre of Altamira, we enter the reproduction of the Altamira Cave which uses state-of-the-art technology to create an experience as close as possible to the original, while preserving the real cave from damage caused by the influx of visitors.

The Paleolithic art exhibition will take you back to another era.

Embark on this adventure through the history and hidden beauty of Cantabria.

Reviews

Charming historic village
Santillana del Mar is a hidden treasure in Spain. I spent a wonderful day exploring its cobbled streets and well-preserved stone buildings. The architecture is incredible and makes for great photo opportunities. There are also lots of lovely stores with local produce. Be sure to visit the Colegiata de Santa Juliana - an impressive church dating back to the 12th century. Certainly an unmissable destination for anyone visiting the region.
