Cantabria (/kænˈtæbriə/, /-ˈteɪ-/;Spanish: [kanˈtaβɾja]) is a Spanish historical community and autonomous community with Santander as its capital city. It is bordered on the east by the Basque Autonomous Community (province of Biscay), on the south by Castile and León (provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay).
Cantabria belongs to Green Spain, the name given to the strip of land between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains, so called because of its particularly lush vegetation, due to the wet and moderate oceanic climate. The climate is strongly influenced by Atlantic Ocean winds trapped by the mountains; the average annual precipitation is about 1,200 mm (47 inches).
Cantabria has archaeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic period, although the first signs of human occupation date from the Lower Paleolithic. The most significant site for cave paintings is that in the cave of Altamira, dating from about 37,000 BC and declared, along with nine other Cantabrian caves, as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The modern Province of Cantabria was constituted on 28 July 1778 at Bárcena la Puente, Reocín. The Organic Law of the Autonomy Statute of Cantabria was approved on 30 December 1981, giving the region its own institutions of self-government.
Santander may refer to:
The port city of Santander (UK /ˌsæntənˈdɛər, -tæn-/, US /ˌsɑːntɑːnˈdɛər/;Spanish: [santanˈder]) is the capital of the autonomous community and historical region of Cantabria situated on the north coast of Spain. Located east of Gijón and west of Bilbao, the city has a population of 178,465 (2013). Santander houses the headquarters of multinational bank Banco Santander, and is the location of the founding of the namesake company.
The origin of the earliest human settlements in the current Santander is not easy to establish because there are few written and archaeological data. However, there would appear to be good practical reasons for ancient settlers to have chosen the north side of the bay, sheltered from it and safer from the storms of the Bay of Biscay, on the north side of the promontory of Somorrostro and along the ancient Becedo estuary. Moreover, the hillside provided good visibility for spotting potential attackers, making this the ideal place for the foundation of a stable settlement, which was to evolve throughout the Middle Ages.
Santander is an elegant city which extends over a wide bay with views of the Cantabrian Sea. Its historic quarter includes a group of majestic buildings which are situated against an incredible natural backdrop of sea and mountains. Its marine and commercial tradition is linked to a century old history of tourism, which has its main attractions in the famous El Sardinero beach, the promenade and the La Magdalena peninsula. source:http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres/ciudades-pueblos/otros-destinos/santander.html#

Uno de los mejores vídeos realizados sobre mi tierra. Cantabria, mar, valles y montañas. Cantabria, el paraíso dónde el mar besa a la montaña. Santander, la novia del mar. En el norte de España. Aquí nací. Aquí vivo. Mi casa. Mi tierra. Mi hogar. El verde de Cantabria que se ve en el vídeo no está pintado. Es así. El azul del mar y sus hermosas playas de fina arena amarilla también son así. Un vídeo de gran belleza, épico y emotivo, que impresiona. Y falta media Cantabria, porque es un vídeo desde el aire. Faltan, por ejemplo, algunos lugares muy hermosos y las Cuevas de Cantabria, como la Cueva de Altamira y la Cueva El Soplao, de una gran belleza. Cantabria, una tierra de belleza sin igual. Paraíso en la Tierra.
