With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Santillana del Mar, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Caves of Altamira, Santillana del Mar Zoo and Collegiate Church of Santillana del Mar. Don’t skip Comillas either! Just 25 miles away, Comillas Beach, Castillo del Rey and San Vicente de la Baruqera Town Hall are non-negotiable stops here.
