The students had a choice between going to Santillana del Mar and having some down time and meeting for tapas in Santander in the early evening. They were pretty much split in half so Valerie Villa (who already had been to Santillana) stayed in Santander for tapas and Amy Gretsch took the group to Santillana del Mar, which is a quaint but touristy town about a half an hour bus ride away. We had about four hours in Santillana and we shopped, visited a torture museum, walked around several other museums and a church with cloisters. We loved the cobblestoned streets and the 15th to 17th century stone houses. We also enjoyed some tapas in a beautiful courtyard restaurant. We didn´t arrive back in Santander until a little past nine so it was a long, but wonderful day.
