If you find yourself with a bit of spare time and you don’t mind traveling 20 miles, check out Aguilar de Campoo. This place has lots of things to see and do. Monastery of Santa Maria la Real, Monastery of Santa María de Mave and Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Santillana del Mar, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Caves of Altamira. (But we’d also highly recommend Santillana del Mar Zoo and Collegiate Church of Santillana del Mar.)
