Santillana del Mar

Known as the "House of Three Deceits," it is a medieval gem on the North Way. Its Collegiate Church of Saint Julian and its cobblestone streets are a journey through time.

Discover Santillana del Mar

Santillana del Mar, nicknamed "the village of the three lies" because it is neither a saint, nor plain, nor by the sea, is one of the most beautiful and visited stops on the Camino del Norte in Cantabria. Declared a Historic-Artistic Ensemble, strolling through its old town is like taking a journey into the Middle Ages. Its cobblestone streets, flanked by noble houses with coats of arms and flower balconies, create an unique atmosphere. The heart of the village is the Colegiata of Saint Julian, a masterpiece of Romanesque art with a magnificent cloister that is a must-visit for pilgrims. Very close to it is the Neocueva of Altamira, an exact replica of the original cave, considered the "Sistine Chapel" of rock art. For the Camino de Santiago walker, Santillana is an oasis of art and history, with excellent accommodation options, from hostels to charming inns. It's a cultural must-see, a place to marvel at its beauty and history before continuing along the Cantabrian coast.
