What you can expect

Discover the charm of Comillas and Santillana del Mar on this enriching journey through Cantabria’s cultural and architectural heritage.

After picking you up from your hotel, we will head towards Comillas, where we will admire its unique blend of aristocratic history and modernist design, highlighted by landmarks such as El Capricho de Gaudí. This is one of the few works by Antoni Gaudí outside Catalonia. Stroll through its elegant streets and enjoy the relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes this town truly distinctive.

After lunch, the journey continues to Santillana del Mar, widely regarded as one of Spain’s most beautiful villages, where time seems to stand still. Stroll through its cobbled medieval streets, lined with stately mansions and Romanesque architecture, and immerse yourself in its timeless atmosphere. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Altamira Museum and its renowned Neocave, an extraordinary replica of the prehistoric Altamira Cave—a fitting highlight to conclude the tour.

Together, these destinations offer a compelling blend of history, art, and authenticity, making this experience ideal for travellers seeking to discover the true essence of northern Spain beyond the usual routes.
