Cantabria is the green Spain par excellence and a hidden gem for nature lovers.

The original is closed for protection, but the Neocueva replica in the museum is impressively authentic. In the province, there are over 60 other caves with prehistoric art, including El Soplao with its spectacular stalactite formations.

The capital, Santander, impresses with the peninsula beach El Sardinero, the Palacio de la Magdalena (summer residence of the Spanish kings), and the modern Botín center by Renzo Piano. Comillas enchants with Gaudí's El Capricho, a colorful summer palace, and the neo-Gothic palace Sobrellano. Santoña is the center of Spanish anchovy production — the Anchoas de Santoña are among the best in the world. Cantabrian cuisine offers Cocido Montañés (mountain stew), fresh seafood, and Sobaos Pasiegos (butter cakes from the Pas Valley).
