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 prehistoric cave paintings at Altamira are one of the most famous attractions in Cantabria. Very close to Altamira is the wonderful cobbled town of Santillana del Mar and further west is Comillas which also has a lovely old town with some unexpected Gaudi architecture (El Capricho de Gaudí).
