Santillana Under the Lights Free tour

A walk to discover the fascinating history of Santillana, wrapped in the magic that creates its enchanting Christmas lighting. A tour full of atmosphere, unique corners and that special spirit that makes this time of the year unforgettable.

Every year, when Christmas comes, Santillana del Mar is adorned with hundreds of thousands of lights that frame its towers, its houses, its convents, even its collegiate church, and hang from the balconies, windows and eaves, forming cascades of light that envelop the visitor in an intimate, cozy, special and magical atmosphere at times. A magic that floats in the air and transports adults to their distant childhood, while accentuating the illusion of the little ones at this time of year. Under this luminous mantle, which puts our emotions to the surface, we will tell you the also fascinating and surprising history of the town, in a walk in which this so luminous and special atmosphere will combine perfectly with the incredible stories that were happening over 12 centuries and that ended up building the history of Santillana del Mar, which was, in turn, essential in the evolution of the Kingdom of Castile. If normally the anecdotes, betrayals, battles, romances and rivalries of Santillana excite you, these days, in the light of the lights, you will fall in love. It is the magic of Christmas.
