Parador de Santillana Gil Blas

Ancestral home with climbing plant spread over its façade. The Parador is housed in the beautiful Barreda-Bracho ancestral home, in the Santillana del Mar plaza, a town declared a National Monument, whose origins date back to the 8th century. The main entrance leads you on to inviting, open plan rooms, with wooden floors and traditionally decorated furniture and ornaments. The bedrooms are comfortable and sit well aesthetically with the Parador's overall atmosphere. The dining room serves highland and Liébana stews, grilled baby beef sirloin, hake from the Cantabrian Sea over green asparagus, the famous 'sorropotún' (bonito and vegetable stew), and the typical dessert 'quesada pasiega' (cheese pastry).
