Market cuisine on calle de la Carrera, at the entrance to the town: à la carte dishes at €14 to €28 and daily specials. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

At the entrance to the old town, on la Carrera
At number 6 calle de la Carrera is Celina Bonita, at the entrance to Santillana's cobbled old town and a few steps from the town's car parks, so you can eat here before or after your walk without moving the car again. The house describes its cooking as market cuisine: traditional recipes, some reworked, with fresh produce.
The menu, with prices
The menu is published with prices. To start or share there is plenty, between €14 and €28: Iberian ham croquettes, coast-style fried squid, "a la importancia" potatoes with baby squid, Cantabrian anchovies with a crunchy cheese, home-made veal cheek and boletus pasties, Soria torreznos, chargrilled leeks with romesco or a cheese board. Salads cost €16 to €19.
For main courses, fish and seafood run from €22 to €26 (octopus with red mojo, scallops with Iberian pork jowl, confit cod with pisto) and the fish of the day follows the market, with no price written. Meat, €22 to €28: beef meatballs, braised oxtail, Iberian presa, beef fillet, and côte de boeuf at €52 a kilo. Desserts cost €7 or €8; among them, a torrija made with sobao pasiego and a rice pudding. The apple tart, the coulant and the crêpe Suzette take ten minutes: order them in good time.
With a dish to share, a main course and dessert, reckon on about €40 to €50 per person without wine. There is a wine list and a beer list.
Off-menu dishes
Each day the kitchen offers dishes off the menu. And with advance booking they prepare seafood platters, rice dishes and mixed grills: if you want them, ask when you book, because they are not made on the spot. The website does not publish the price.
Days and hours
Open Wednesday to Saturday, 13:30 to 16:00 and 19:30 to 22:30, and on Sunday at midday only, 13:30 to 16:00. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Book by phone on 942 84 01 06, by WhatsApp on 621 290 108 or through its website.
The Altamira Museum, 2 km away, is free on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, and the house opens on Sunday at midday: that is why it is the lunch in the Sunday in Santillana del Mar plan. Afterwards, the walk through the town starts a few steps away.

Qué pedir: something to share from the nibbles section, such as the potatoes a la importancia with baby squid, and whatever the kitchen suggests off the menu; the sobao torrija for dessert
