Free Tour of Santillana del Mar: As You've Never Heard It Before

IMPORTANT: If you’re looking for a “history lesson” full of dates and names, this tour isn’t for you. However, if you want to discover the stories, anecdotes, behind-the-scenes details, and little-known facts about Santillana del Mar that nobody else tells, welcome!

On this two-hour tour for small groups, we’ll delve not into the history of Santillana, but into its “inner history”—those small yet significant stories and curious anecdotes that together build the grand edifice of History. Every year, tens of thousands of tourists wander the town’s cobblestone streets, captivated by its unique beauty. They walk immersed in an atmosphere that transports them to another era, to another world, admiring every detail, and leave impressed by the town’s one-of-a-kind beauty. But they’ve only seen the stage of the play. They’re unaware of the thrilling history that unfolded here over twelve centuries—a time marked by intrigues, deceptions, battles, betrayals, and romances… which we’ll explore and unravel together throughout this walk. A tour where you’ll enjoy yourself, learn, be surprised, and laugh. A tour that won’t leave you indifferent.

See you there.
