Cantabria

A green region in the north of Spain, with its mountains and coastline, Cantabria is ideally suited to walking and hiking, cycling and other adventure sports....

It is a paradise for outdoor activities thanks to a maritime climate that is mild throughout the year. Relatively sober rather than flamboyant, this region is not yet as well known to the general public as other, sunnier, regions that attract more tourists. And yet, far from the crowds and mass tourism, it is a delightfully green area offering rest and relaxation to those in search of authenticity. Its archaeological sites dating from the Palaeolithic era and the cave art of its prehistoric grottoes have earned the region classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
