Cantabria The region of Cantabria lies along the coastal strip of Northern Spain that is bathed by the Cantabrian Sea. It is an authentic treasure of Green Spain, in the approximate territory that was settled by the old Cantabrian tribes. It looks over its coastline, as if pushed towards it by its high mountain ranges, where its waters start to run down the Rivers Agüera, Asón, Miera, Pas, Besaya, Saja and Deva, into de ocean, forming estuaries and wetlands of astounding beauty. The main tourist attractions of Cantabria are undoubtedly its landscape and privileged natural environment, together with its great artictic monuments, such as the many caves with prehistoric paintings, the roman village of Julióbriga, the medieval village of Santillana del Mar, and many more. For additional information on tourism: |
