Santillana del Mar and snacking

Santillana del Mar is the most beautiful town in Spain. This Cantabrian little town is one the most visited and has no waste at all.

It is notable for its XII century Colegiata de santa Juliana, a real gem from the Romanic architecture. The town of Santillana is full of hotels and shops with regional souveniers. Also remarkable are the museum and Altamira's Caves where you can admire the palaeolithic cave paintings. Although the original cave remains closed to the general public, it is possible to visit an accurate replica of it.

Since I was a child, I use to taste a glass of milk with a typical cake or cheesecake you can buy in a shop, called Casa Quevedo. To get there, just go straight on the main street to the Colegiata. When you can see it at the background, there is a basin with a roof in the middle of the street (look at the picture down) and then, at your right, is Casa Quevedo. There, you can order a glass of fresh milk with a cake for just 1,50 €. Definitely, the best place to have a snack...
