Santillana like you've never been told (Small groups)
The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in Spanish
Description
IMPORTANT: If you're looking for a "history class" filled with dates and names, this tour is not for you. However, if you want to discover the stories, anecdotes, behind-the-scenes, and curiosities that no one tells about Santillana del Mar, welcome!
In this tour of just two hours, we don't delve into the history of Santillana, but into its inner history, those small great stories, those curious anecdotes that build the grand edifice of History.
Each year, tens of thousands of tourists walk the cobbled streets of the town, captivated by the unique beauty of its houses, convents, towers, palaces, and, of course, its collegiate church.
They walk immersed in that atmosphere that transports them to another time, another world, admiring every detail, every coat of arms, every stone... and they leave impressed by the unique beauty of this village.
But they have only seen the stage of the play.
They are unaware of the fascinating history that was enacted on this stage over twelve centuries, during which intrigues, deceptions, battles, betrayals, romances... took place, and which we will discover and unravel throughout this tour.
A tour where you will enjoy, learn, be surprised, and laugh.
A tour that, surely, will not leave you indifferent.
See you there!

Guiding since 2025PRO
Hello, I'm Ana: I have a degree in Tourism and am an official guide. I've been working as a tourist information center since 2011. I love my homeland, Cantabria, and that's why I go out of my way to inform, advise, and recommend things to the people who come to my desk so that their "Cantabrian experience" is unforgettable and, why not, different from the usual. Every person has their own interests, tastes, and expectations, and therefore, each one requires, and deserves, a different approach. Therefore, I could say that my main values are: proximity, rigor, exclusivity, and friendliness. These values I also apply as a guide, far from "my desk," where destiny is written by every step we take along the walks, where my goal is to make people feel special while enjoying learning about the history of every corner of Cantabria. I look forward to seeing you!
