Santillana del Mar

We spend 3 nights here in Santillana del Mar, it is so beautiful, busy and there are an absolute ton of restaurants to choose from. We visit the torture museum (very disturbing) and the mythical museum on our first rest day, and had planned to visit the Altimera Museum tomorrow but unfortunately it is closed. So we spend our time just chatting and hanging out, these are our last few days with George, he leaves us tomorrow to go meet up with his family in Lisbon, Portugal, ready to walk from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. So far in Santillana del Mar we have witnessed a concert in the plaza and festivities where the town folk dress up as mythical creatures that inhabit this region or in tradition clothing, they play instruments and parade around the town, causing infectious smiles, laughter, dancing and clapping. Fun times are had by all!Read more
