Santillana del Mar

This is an attractive old village with a lots of tourists flocking around the shops and cafe which now occupy many of the old houses. In the past it was a desirable place to live for the wealthy locals. Its near the Altimira archaeological site which we also visited to see the cave art.

The site had quite big kerbs to drive over which was a bit of problem for my suspension.  Noisy with a school party when we pitched up and then a large German travelling bus which converts into sleeping accommodation for about 30 people arrived. The site was a little way out of town and a tiring walk back up the hill in the heat. But then the wind and low clouds appeared - end of sun bathing.
