Parador De Santillana Del Mar 17TH - 18TH CENTURY ANCESTRAL HOME The Parador is installed in the beautiful Barreda-Bracho ancestral home, in the square of Santillana del Mar, a town declared a National Monument, whose origins go back to the 8th century. The main entrance precedes diaphanous, friendly rooms, with wooden floors and traditional decoration for the furniture and the ornamental details. The bedrooms are comfortable; some, with chimneys, offer a beautiful pastoral and rural picture. On the other side of the square an annexe has been built with the same charm as the rest of the Parador. The dining room serves highland and Liébana stews, prime beef sirloin "a la plancha", salmon stuffed with smoked meat, hake from the Bay of Biscay on green asparagus, the famous "sorropotún" (fish and vegetable stew), and the typical dessert "quesada pasiega". < HOW TO GET THERE The Parador is located at the main place of Santillana del Mar, where the most characteristically buildings of the municipality are also located: Torre de Don Borja, Casa del Aguila y la Parra, Torre de Merino and the City Hall. The access road is from the Santander-Comillas cross-street on a paved street for hardly 100 metres. Santillana is located 24 Km. away from Santander, the capital of the province.
