 For anybody unfamiliar with the scenery of this area, it can come as quite a surprise to discover a landscape which is more like Switzerland than Spain.  Many people picture Spain as a land of hot sun, beaches and sangria but Cantabria is green Spain in this country of many contrasts.   The mountain villages are extremely beautiful, many of the houses look like Swiss chalets.  Some of the villages have cobbled streets and most of the houses are decked in flowers.

Driving through the mountains and down to the coast, you pass some quite breathtaking scenery.  The coast itself is rugged, there are sandy bays and small coastal resorts.
