A | We travel to the world heritage mediaeval village of Santillana del Mar where most houses were built between the 14th and 18th centuries, and all can be explored by foot. Later we stop in Comillas, one of the most beautiful towns in Cantabria with cobbled streets, open squares and two beaches.

B | A full day in the Picos De Europa Mountain Range. First, we make a stop in San Vincente de la Barquera, a picturesque town on the coast with the astonishing backdrop of the Picos de Europa. Then we follow the River Deva Valley up into the mountains and visit the town of Potes, a mediaeval town with traditional buildings, wooden balconies and surrounded by mountains.
