Set off on a full-day adventure through northern Spain's diverse landscapes. Departing from Santander, you'll travel to Santillana del Mar, a medieval village known for its cobbled streets, ancient manor houses, and the Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana. Here, you'll have ample time to explore the village at your own pace.
The journey continues with a visit to the Altamira Cave, a significant site of prehistoric cave paintings. A guided tour of the neo-cave replica, crafted using advanced technology to protect the original site, transports you back to the Palaeolithic era. You can discover more about ancient life through the exhibits at the Altamira Museum, which boasts an impressive collection of prehistoric art.
The tour then takes you through the Hermida Gorge, Spain's longest gorge, characterised by towering cliffs and dramatic vistas. Here, you may spot local wildlife, including birds of prey soaring above. Nestled in the heart of the Picos de Europa mountains lies your next stop — the village of Potes. This medieval village, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is adorned with cobbled streets and wooden balconies. Enjoy some downtime here before your return journey to Santander.
