Enjoy the wonderful places that Santillana del Mar offers, with a guide just for you and your family or friends. Here you will see an itinerary of the walking tour, which can be modified at your convenience. We will start at Plaza Mayor, one of the most interesting places in Santillana where some of the most emblematic buildings are located, such as the City Hall, the Torre del Merino, the Parador Gil Blas and the Torre de Don Borja. We will continue with the visit of the town and its most unique streets, passing places like the house of the Marquis of Santillana, Los Hombrones, etc. and ending with the exterior and interior visit of the Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana, where we will not only visit the church itself, a real jewel of the Romanesque, but also its Romanesque cloister, undoubtedly one of the best in Cantabria.

A unique immersive visit in Cantabria in the most emblematic and only visitable building in Cantabria in Renaissance style. Meet the ghosts of Velarde, its former inhabitants have not yet left the Palace, and it is they themselves who will tell you part of their exciting lives in the same rooms in which they lived at some point in their lives. We use the latest technology in virtual reality to make your visit an unforgettable moment. Go back 500 years in time and get to know Santillana del Mar from its origins.

A real luxury at your fingertips! Not only will you avoid unnecessary queuing and waiting, but you will have a museum-appointed guide for interpretation, exclusively and available to you, your family and friends. We will visit the replica of Altamira Cave, an exact copy of the original, which remains closed and can only be visited by a very limited number of people, on a regular basis. The neocave allows you to know the so-called “Sistine Chapel” of rock art with all comfort and fidelity regarding the royal cave. You will learn about the customs and life of our ancestors, as well as their impressive artistic footprint. Afterwards, we will visit the most important points of the museum, which you can continue enjoying after the end of the guided tour.

Enjoy a private, exclusive tour with your own local guide through one of Spain’s most celebrated Historic Old Town gems — a living UNESCO Heritage treasure with roots far older than the United States itself.
