Spain2013 (3a) - Santillana

Santillana (with its full name as Santillana del Mar) is known as 'the town of three lies' - it is neither a holy place (santa), nor is it flat (llana), nor does it lie by the sea (mar). The little pebbled-street village is pretty much pedestrian only, certain cars at certain time are allowed to drive in. We stayed right in the middle of the village, a hotel named as Altamira, what a coincidence!
People are nice and friendly: the taxi drivers, attending hotel host, the souvenir shop owner, and the once handsome artist.

Beautiful blue sky after the rain:

Somebody just spent her pocket money:

In any direction, it will only take you less than 5 minutes to walk out of the village.

The old stone house used to belong to some rich family was turned into a hotel:

Feeling good being begged:
