Random Happenings in Cantabria
We visited Santillana del Mar, a town that looks straight out of the Middle Ages. There is literally not one truly modern looking building in the town!

Visit to the Caves
We went to the crystal caves called el soplao. These were massive and are supposed to be one of the best caves in the world for unusual geological formations.
