Awesome Experience - Jairo was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable and great with our young children. The caves were so cool to see and Santillana de Mar was a gorgeous city.

An excursion to do without a doubt - This is a visit to the caves of Altamira and the town of Santillana del mar (there is no museum). It was absolutely worth it! After all, you can not go to Santander without having seen the cave paintings (albeit in faithful copy) of this site. Santillana was also worth visiting.
Also great that the excursion is done by car and that they pick you up at the hotel.

Parking? - Following many good reviews and our love of history we were so looking forward to visiting these caves. However it was not to be. We arrived at 10.30, thinking that this was early enough for the crowds not to be overwhelming, only to find not a single parking space! We left, extremely disappointed along with several other potential visitors.
