Southern Europe Road Trip D8: Santander to Gijón via 3 Towns
“Northern Spain + Andorra + Southwest France Two-Week Road Trip D8
🚗 Santander → Santillana del Mar → Comillas → Lastres → Gijón
Today's total distance is less than 200 km, but the towns along the way each have their own unique charm and are right on the route, so I planned stops for all of them—
📍 Santillana del Mar
🅿️ Aparcamiento de la plaza del rey
Fee: €1.50/hour, pay at the machine in advance and display the ticket on your dashboard
The town is listed as a Spanish National Historic and Cultural Heritage site, filled with cobblestone streets, old stone houses, and noble coats of arms.”@AALIYAH BUSH · 22 days ago
