Santoña is a municipality with a deep seafaring vocation. Its history and its people have always been linked to the sea and to famous sailors. The most significant example is undoubtedly Juan de la Cosa, a fundamental cartographer in the discovery of America and a great connoisseur of seafaring subjects, as he left in his sea chart, a fundamental piece for the study of the cartography of the time. Santoña is also considered to be the place where the caravel "Santa María" was built.

The Cabárceno Nature Park is neither a conventional zoo nor a natural park. It is a space naturalized by the hand of man, from the primitive beauty of its karst landscape, on the 750 ha of an old open-pit mining operation.In the Cabárceno Nature Park, life takes place in the most natural environment possible for the animals that inhabit it. Except for the feeding they are provided with, the rest of the activities are marked by their almost total freedom and instinct. Practically all of them unleash fights and struggles in mating season for the control of the females and of course, except for the survival instinct, the rest of their senses are as wild as in their natural habitat.

Located in the northern part of the Toranzo valley and crossed by the best known river in Cantabria, the Pas, Puente Viesgo was established as a population center in the late Middle Ages. The first documentary references allude to the bridge over the river that would eventually give its name to the municipality.Puente Viesgo is home to one of the most important sets of prehistoric caves in the region. It is specifically in the Castillo mountain (peak of regular conical form), where the diverse cavities that shelter samples of paleolithic art are opened. These caves are known as El Castillo, Las Chimeneas, Las Monedas and La Pasiega.

Essential appointment for the tourist who visits Cantabria.Santillana del Mar is undoubtedly one of the towns of greatest historical and artistic value in Spain, to the point that everything in it is a monument. Known as "the town of the three lies", since it is neither "holy" nor "saintly" because it is neither "holy", nor "flat", nor has "sea", Santillana del Mar is the capital of a municipality of 4,000 inhabitants dedicated mostly to farming and, above all, to tourism.To speak of Santillana del Mar is also to speak of the Altamira Cave. Described as the "Sistine Chapel" of cave art, this cave probably contains the most famous prehistoric paintings in the world. The discovery of the cave of Altamira, at the end of the 19th century, provoked a deep controversy and subsequent commotion among the scientific community of the time, reluctant at first to admit the real age of its paintings (14,000 years). The cave was found by chance in 1868 by Modesto Cubillas, who came to know its first great promoter: Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola. The most famous part of the cave, known as the "room of the polychromes", was not discovered until 1879, during a visit in which Sanz de Sautuola was accompanied by his daughter María.

Bárcena Mayor is the only population center included in the Saja Besaya Natural Park. It is located in a small valley of the river Argoza, at the foot of the mountains of the Cantabrian divide. It stands out for its traditional architecture, the clarity of its boundaries, preferably marked by the rear facades of the rows and the density of the built-up area, which make it a very compact nucleus in which space is used to the maximum, using various solutions to adapt the buildings to the terrain.The most characteristic type of house in the village responds to the model of the mountain house of rural habitat. In them, the party walls protrude on the second floor from "S" brackets to shelter the solana, which began to be introduced in the seventeenth century with the arrival of corn and the need to have a space to dry the cereal.In Bárcena Mayor, a Historic-Artistic Site since 1979, a visit to the 17th century church of Santa Maria is a must, as are the old rectory houses, the traditional mountain mansions, with wide sun terraces and arcades opened by ashlar arches, or the rows of two-storey houses, with arcades, sun terraces and wooden enclosures, which are essentially the most representative image of the mountain settlement model.
