With a surface of 5.300 square kilometers
Cantabria offers extremely varied
landscapes and climates. In its mountain ranges, Picos de Europa and the
natural preserve of Saja, still live bears, wolves and eagles, and the
rivers are full of salmons and trouts. Pico de tres Mares ("peak of the
three seas") is a real curiosity: a drop of water that falls here may
equally arrive to Atlantic Ocean, by Duero river, the Cantabric Sea, by
Nansa river, or the Mediterranean Sea by Ebro river.
In total contrast is the coast with beautiful bays and romantic fishing
villages. In between you will find green valleys and hills.
