Cantabria is a green jewel on the Cantabrian coast, a territory that condenses an incredible variety of landscapes in a small space. It is a land that lives facing the sea, with a coastline of more than 200 kilometers dotted with spectacular beaches, fishing villages and imposing cliffs. But when you turn your back on the Cantabrian Sea, the landscape rises sharply towards the majestic peaks of the Picos de Europa. Cantabria is a journey to the origins of art, the cradle of the cave paintings of Altamira, the 'Sistine Chapel' of Paleolithic art. It is a region of leafy valleys and meadows, of mountain houses made of stone and wood, and of honest gastronomy that fuses the best of the sea and the mountains. Visiting Cantabria is discovering towns that seem frozen in time, breathing the pure air of its natural parks and feeling the strength of a landscape that has shaped a noble and welcoming character.
