The historic town of Santillana del Mar has enviably managed to maintain its original charm and character for over a century now, including keeping all cars out of the town center. This makes it a very peaceful and calm destination to explore, especially if you are looking for family-friendly spots in the region. With attractions, such as Casas del Águila y la Parra, the statue of Homenaje al hombre de Altamira, the magnificent town hall building, Casa de la Plaza, and the numerous cave paintings for which Altamira Cave is well-known, the small town has enough wonders to keep you fairly busy during your vacation.
