This is a beautiful little medieval town with cobbled streets and impressive ancient buildings. A central feature is the large cathedral of Colegiata of St. Juliana, where you can visit the cloisters or attend Catholic mass. It stands in a square which is bordered by an art museum (Jesus Otero). A few cobbled streets run off the square, with plenty of restaurants and hotels to choose from. They are proud of their cheese and other local produce, so there are several shops dedicated to this. The Conventa Clarisas (convent of the poor Clares) is also very charming and is famous for its pastries for sale. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Casa del Marques, whose staff were very friendly and welcoming, in a well-appointed and spacious room with large comfortable bed, seating areas and ensuite, all in keeping with the charming classic style of the hotel. We also spent a night at the Hotel los Infantes, which is impressively grand. It is easy to access this small town on foot, but it is possible to drive through the cobbled streets and there is a public car park which is free. The town is not actually on the coast, but is 10 minutes' drive from pretty local beaches.

This is a must-see, very beautiful town.
This is a must-see, very beautiful town. It is close to the Altamira Caves, although we decided not to visit them. We ate in a little restaurant at the square and the food was incredible and very cheap. We got to Santillana del Mar by car and it was easy to find, parking is available and overnight parking was free.

Santillana del Mar is a well preserved historic town in beautiful setting. Lovely to walk the cobbled streets and soak in the ambiance of the old town. The Catholic Church was really interesting as was local museum- downside was no English signage in either.
Barely 2km from town is the astounding Cave of Altamira and museum. They have protected these prehistoric caves by building a museum containing an accurate replica of the caves and artwork. That alongside a fascinating exhibition of the era concerned made for a compelling visit. In high season, best to get there early as there are limited numbers going through the museum. Lovely walking through area and viewing (from distance) original cave entrance. Beautifully maintained and very helpful staff. Information in Spanish & English.
Multitude of cafe/restaurants in old town with great food

This place is unique, as are each of the houses / places to stay - so much character! The church of Santa Juliana is a gem, and the 12th century cloister is amazing. The village is a lovely blend of culture and country - incredible architecture and free-range chickens / horses. Altogether delightful!

Santillana del Mar is a beautiful village with some lovely buildings but is leaning towards being overly touristy and much of what was on sale was repetitive and not great quality.
However, it has a superb ceramics shop - if you are interested in lovely pieces then do visit ARPA.Also a lovely little leather goods sho[ and a couple of decent jewellers .

Nice quirky hotel just outside the old part of the town. Easy to walk into the town and explore. Excellent final stop on a motorcycle tour of Northern Spain / Portugal and final stop before Santander ferry which is half an hour along the motorway. Plenty of available parking, decent meal.
This hotel was centrally located near a quiet park in Santillana. It was an easy 5 minute walk into the historic centre where there were great bars and restaurants. It was also only a 2.2km walk to the Caves. The hotel had good parking and the room had everything we needed.
Having previously visited Santillana Del Mar in 2022 we knew the location of this hotel would be ideal as it is on the main road and close to the village and all that it has to offer. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the breakfast was of a good standard.
Absolutely gorgeous and spacious historic home. One receives a warm and gracious welcome from the lovely owners. The numerous sitting rooms in the Hotel are beautifully decorated and the breakfast is delicious. I would give it a 15 out of 10 if I could!!
A really nice, charaterful, charming hotel on the edge of a small park. Well situated to walk into town and with bars and restaurants nearby.
The room was spacious and well decorated and furnished. Cleanliness was good and the staff friendly and helpful.
Extremely hospitable staff, charming hotel with memorabilia representative of old Spain, including an incredible clock collection. Could not be better situated, right opposite the pedestrian entrance to the old city.
Beautiful little town.
Astonishingly preserved
Not a great deal to do other than wander around trying to keep your jaw off the ground
A great place for an overnight during our road trip across northern Spain.
It was enjoyable to stay near the historic old town of Santillana del Mar after the tour bus and all the tourist had left. The room was quaint and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony.
The staff spoke surprisingly good English. She was very helpful. The location is perfect for Altamira museum and Santillana del Mar. Quiet place with plenty of parking in the yard.

What a beautiful, historic hotel! I especially loved the garden areas and fireplaces for drinks and gorgeous reading spots! All of the staff was so lovely and charming.
The hotel Altamira was an excellent facility. The room was spacious. The dining facilities on site were wonderful. An excellent breakfast. Truly an outstanding place.
Very friendly staff, clean room, two minutes walking from the pedestrian area of Santillana del Mar, 4 minutes by car to the museum of Altamira, simple breakfast.
