 Cantabria
The Santander is the capital of Cantabria.
Its very name indicates the nature of this green, sea-faring
region whose pleasant countryside hides numerous testimonies
of the oldest prehistoric inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula.
Among the most important are the rupestrian cave paintings
at Altamira - without a doubt one of the most important finds
of its type in the world - near the beautiful town of Santillana
del Mar. Inland, there is breathtakingly beautiful mountain
scenery. Santander, is the capital of Cantabria. Located on a beautiful
bay and flanked by enormous beaches, the city, well designed
and elegant, suffered damage during the great fire of 1941.
However, today, after careful reconstruction, it can be seen
to have recovered all its former charm.
The beautiful La Magdalena
Palace is the annual site of one of the most important international
summer university programs in the world. Its museum houses
a valuable collection of paintings from the 17th and 18th
centuries.
