Arroyo is a town in the municipality of Santillana del Mar (Cantabria, Spain). It is located about 2 kilometers to the northwest of the municipal capital, Santillana del Mar. It is located 99 meters above sea level, in a depression between low-altitude hills. In 2008 it had a population of 49 inhabitants (INE), being the least populated in the municipality. Within the term of this town is the Cueva de Arroyo, in which human remains prehistoric were found. From Arroyo to the sea there are traces of an ancient town, Morteo, today abandoned. To the north of Arroyo, on the coast, is the cove of Puerto Calderón, with a small port.
The first historical mention of the place is from CE 1053, thanks to the cartulary of the Abadía de Santillana. In the c. 17th century, his time of greatest splendor, he had a procurator in charge of the economy of the town and its term.
This town is accessed by a municipal road from the autonomous highway CA-137[1] and lacks regular public transport lines.[2]
