Santillana del Mar: the Three Lies

Hello, everyone.
The Three Lies of Santillana, the title reads. And all 3 of them are in the village's name. It is not on the sea, number 1. It has no wool (lana), number 2. And it has no saint/is not holy, number 3.
When we walked over the hill into the edge of yet another hill village yesterday afternoon after walking about 29 kilometers, we felt lost and looked at the conveniently placed info map, only to discover that we had arrived at our goal. We had been fooled by one of the 3 lies. 😂
We are taking a rest day in Santillana. We have visited the Alta Mira Cave museum with cave replica and enjoyed it a lot. (For the most benefit you should have some Spanish, as then you can profit from the guided walk-through of the replica cave.)
We have discovered the workshop where some lovely carved wood furniture is made.
 A partially finished headboard.
The pension where we have taken a room. The crafter's showroom is on the ground floor. We are in one of the habitaciones on the upper floor.
