If you have been there, you know the feeling. If you haven't, perhaps it is time to go create the memory.

Evocación Santillana is the act of returning to a place you have only visited once, or perhaps never. It is a nostalgic longing for a simpler, stonier, greener time.

There are some places that don’t just occupy space on a map; they occupy a permanent corner of your memory. Santillana del Mar, often called the "Town of Three Lies" (it is neither a Saint (Santo), nor flat (Llana), nor by the sea (Mar)), is one of those places.

Walking down the Calle de las Lindas, you realize that every balcony, every wooden beam, and every noble coat of arms has a story. The town is a living museum, but unlike most museums, you can touch it, smell the earth, and hear the distant sound of the river Besaya.
