Santillana del Mar is a an historical medieval town, famous especially for Altamira Caves, to the West of Santander, one of the region's most precious assets, where huge multi-coloured paintings dating back 15,000 years adorn the ceilings. Access to the caves is severely restricted these days, but copies of the paintings can be admired at the national museum of Santillana del Mar. At about 25 km there is Santander, Cantabria's capital, where there is plenty to see in terms of historical sites, and where the regional international airport is located.
