Why this destination is a must-visit

Santillana del Mar is one of the most charming medieval towns in northern Spain. Located in Cantabria, this beautifully preserved village feels like stepping back in time, with cobbled streets, noble stone houses and historic buildings around every corner. Despite its small size, it’s packed with culture, history and delicious gastronomy, making it a must-visit stop if you’re exploring northern Spain.

Make sure you visit:

  • The Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana, a stunning Romanesque monument and the heart of the town.
  • Plaza Mayor and its surrounding medieval buildings.
  • The Museum of the Inquisition for an interesting (and slightly eerie) look at history.
  • The charming cobbled streets lined with traditional stone houses and flower-filled balconies.
  • The nearby Altamira Museum, home to the famous prehistoric cave art replicas.

Family-friendly activities:

  • Visit the Altamira Museum and learn about prehistoric cave paintings in an interactive way.
  • Explore the Santillana Zoo, a favourite for families travelling with kids.
  • Wander through the old town searching for artisan shops and traditional sweets.
  • Enjoy an ice cream while strolling through the medieval streets.
  • Discover the surrounding countryside with easy walking routes.

Make sure you try these local delicacies:

  • Quesada pasiega, a traditional Cantabrian cheesecake.
  • Sobao pasiego, a buttery sponge cake perfect with coffee.
  • Cocido montañés, a hearty mountain stew typical of the region.
  • Fresh Cantabrian cheeses and local cider.
  • Homemade pastries from the town’s traditional bakeries.

Make the most of your visit and go to...

  • Comillas (20 min): a beautiful coastal town with Gaudí’s famous El Capricho.
  • San Vicente de la Barquera (30 min): fishing village with spectacular coastal views.
  • Santander (30 min): Cantabria’s elegant capital with beaches and great gastronomy.
  • Cabárceno Nature Park (35 min): a huge wildlife park set in a former quarry.

8.6 María José Travelled with couple October 2025 "The hotel staff, their kindness, work, cleanliness. I had Half Board and I want to say that the food was good and homemade, they serve you at the table and the menu is fixed, you can't choose, they ask if you want seconds and if you have any allergies or intolerances as happened with my husband, I informed it and all the dishes that could contain cheese were replaced. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT and I want to thank all the STAFF."
El personal del hotel, su amabilidad, trabajo, limpieza. Tenia media pension y quiero decir que la comida estaba buena y era casera, te sirven en mesa y el menu es lo que hay no se puede elegir, te preguntan si quieres repetir y si tienes alguna alergia o intolerancia como paso con mi marido se lo comunique y todos los platos que pudiesen contener queso se lo cambiaban por otro. TODO ESTUPENDO y dar las gracias a todo el PERSONAL.

Sitio recomendable por la relación calidad/precio. Personal muy amable y precio ajustado. Está cerca de todos los sitios en coche.
The issue of leaving the key at reception is not very pleasant, as they do not ask for your name when picking it up, and anyone could enter. However, during my stay, there were no issues.
El tema de dejar la llave en recepción no es muy agradable, ya que no te piden el nombre al recogerla, y podría entrar cualquiera. Pero durante mi estancia no hubo ningún problema.

10 Óscar Travelled with couple October 2025 Impeccable treatment from the staff, fully comfortable room, good breakfast and good dinner. All this, combined with the surroundings where it is located near Santillana, Suances, Altamira, Torrelavega... In terms of value for money, there is nothing that comes close to it.
Trato inmejorable del personal, habitación plenamente confortable, buen desayuno y buena cena. Ello sumado al entorno en que se encuentra junto a Santillana, Suances, Altamira, Torrelavega... Relación calidad-precio no hay nada que se le acerque.

9.4 Antonio Travelled with couple October 2025 "The friendliness of all the staff, the cleanliness, and having the proximity of all the wonderful villages at a very short distance, as well as the convenience of having car park at the hotel. Total quality-price ratio 10 out of 10."
La amabilidad de todo el personal, la limpieza y disponer de la cercanía de todos los pueblos maravillosos a muy poca distancia, así como la comodidad de disponer de parking en el hotel. Relación total calidad precio 10 de 10
"Nothing to object, only in terms of dinners, which are really homemade and quite abundant, and they also offer you the opportunity to have seconds if you wish, they only have a first course, a second course, and dessert, in my opinion, it would improve in this regard with more variety. But everything is delicious and great."
Nada que objetar, tan solo en el tema cenas, que realmente son caseras y bastante abundantes y que además te ofrecen la oportunidad de repetir si lo deseas, si que tienen solo un primero y un segundo y postre, para mí mejoraría algo en este sentido con algo más de variedad. Pero que está todo rico y genial

8.6 Elizabeth Travelled with family October 2025 The truth is that for the price we paid for the 3 nights with Half Board, it's great. The set menu is the first time I've experienced it and it's for those who eat everything because otherwise you end up not eating, but the amount of food was good and you could have seconds.
La verdad q por el precio que nos costó las 3 noches con media pensión está genial. Lo del menú cerrado es la primera vez que lo experimentaba y es para los que comemos de todo por q sino te quedas sin comer pero la cantidad de comida estaba bien y podías repetir
Remove the carpet from the rooms and provide another food option. The rest is great.
