Wandering Through the Timeless Streets of Santillana del Mar

#mytraveldiary Santillana del Mar in Cantabria is often called the town of three lies since it is not holy, not flat, and not by the sea, yet it is one of the most charming places you can visit. The cobblestone streets, stone houses, and flower filled balconies give the town a fairytale like atmosphere that feels frozen in time.

Walking through the historic center is a delight, with medieval architecture around every corner and little shops selling local crafts and sweets. The Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana stands as a highlight, reflecting centuries of history. The pace is slow, inviting you to simply wander and enjoy the beauty of each detail. Santillana del Mar is a treasure that captures the essence of old world Spain.
