On our north-east tour we also visited the tourist magnet Santana. In the late morning all regular parking places were already occupied. A little further up the road was a restaurant/hotel with sufficient parking. On request we could leave the car there.

Shortly before we left, the first bus arrived…

At the hotel there was also a version of the typical Santana house replica. Here, however, with interior decoration.

It will probably not have been that idyllic in the times people were living in them…

And that’s probably how the houses looked in reality. Nowadays mostly converted as a shed or even garage, the houses probably no longer serve their original purpose.
