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.

6.6 Maria Jesus Travelled with couple May 2026
Tenía un precio muy económico. Está bien situado para moverte por la zona pero hay que coger el coche si quieres ir tomar algo o comprar. Las camas eran cómodas y las almohadas también. El personal es amable.
La habitación que nos tocó da a la carretera principal que es muy transitada tanto de día como de noche. La insonorización no es nada buena, así que si no te importa dormir con ruidos, sin problema. Tampoco tiene persianas sino cortinas opacas que dejan entrar bastante luz, teniendo en cuenta que el foco que alumbra al letrero del hotel, penetra de lleno en la habitación. Debido al ruido y a la luz no pude descansar. La comida no está mal pero no es lo que hay, un plato. No opción a elegir.

Buen hotel, muy limpio y todo el personal muy amable. Bien situado para visitar Cantabria, aunque dependes del coche. La cena bien hecha, quizás estaría bien la posibilidad de elegir al menos entre dos opciones aunque hubiera que decirlo con antelación.

6.9 Ainhoa April 2026
El personal del hotel era muy amable. A pesar de q no se podía elegir la comida, por suerte nosotros no éramos alérgicos ni intolerantes y estaba toda muy buena. También te ofrecían para repetir si te quedabas con hambre. Las camas eran cómodas
El ruido. Por la noche había mucho ruido, se escuchaba desde el bar, desde el pasillo, desde la ventana, de fuera… es un hotel al que vienen grupos de excursiones a pasar la noche. La habitación no estaba nada aislada y se escuchaban todas las conversaciones como si estuvieran dentro de nuestra habitación, la música, las partidas del bar, las puertas… todo. No pudimos descansar. Por la mañana desde bien pronto también se volvían a escuchar todos los ruidos y conversaciones porque las excursiones se preparaban y marchaban temprano. Creo que es importante saber esto porque si la idea de tu viaje es dormir 5-6h y salir a ver la ciudad el hotel me parece que está muy bien en cuanto a calidad precio, pero si quieres descansar quizá este no es tu sitio

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.

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.
Translation: "Bathtubs in the bathroom and if they could place the shampoo-gel dispenser inside the bathtub or shower."
