Santillana Del Mar.

Saturday 10th May 2025.

We drove the grand distance of 11miles today to get to this parkup which is situated 800m from the edge of the ancient village of Santillana del Mar.

This shot was taken from the entrance to the village, the park up is modern with full facilities all of which you have to pay extra for, you need a degree in IT to operate the machine to enter, including typing in details from your passport and your name, paying 12 euros is the easiest part.

The lane down to the village.

Sadly we have had lots of heavy rain showers today one of which commenced as we walked into the village so it was brollies all round.

The museum.
Church.
Views as we walked round.
An amazing shop making furniture.
Village laundry.
The buildings have guttering but no downpipes so the rainwater shoots out towards the middle of the narrow street, it was quite an art staying dry.

Despite the rain we have enjoyed our stay here, we are only approx 30minutes from Santander where we catch the ferry tomorrow, so very convenient.
