This is one that you're going to either love or hate - we love it. Inside a tenderly
renovated house in the heart of the old town, the entrance and reception have more
of the same old-world flavour you'll be starting to get bored of, but the bright and
very comfortable rooms are an arresting mix of purple, silver and gold pomp. If that
sounds a little too much, it also has a more classic blue-and-white room.

WEST TO SANTIAGO DE
COMPOSTELA
Santillana del Mar
POP 1080
This medieval jewel is in such a perfect state of preservation, with its bright cobbled
streets and tanned stone and brick buildings huddling in a muddle of centuries of
history, that it seems too good to be true. Surely it's a film set! Well, no. People still
live here, passing their precious houses down from generation to generation.
