Cantabria


Cantabria is a Spanish province and autonomous community. It is bordered on the east by the Basque Country, on the south by Castile and León (provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Bay of Biscay. Its capital is the city of Santander. Cantabria belongs to the Green Spain, the name given to the strip of land between the Cantabrian Sea and the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain. It is called green because it has a wet and moderate oceanic climate, strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean winds that get trapped by the mountains. The average precipitation is about 1,200 mm, this allows the lush vegetation to grow. First signs of human occupation in Cantabria date from Lower Paleolithic, however Upper Paleolithic is the best represented period, being Cantabria the richest region in the world in archaeological sites from this period. The most significant cave painting site is Altamira, dated from about 16.000 to 9.000 BC and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The first written reference to the name Cantabria emerges around the year 195 BC, in which the historian Cato the Elder speaks in his book Origins about the source of the Ebro River in the country of the Cantabri. References in the following period are related to the Cantabrian Wars (29 BC-19 BC) against Rome. The modern Province of Cantabria was constituted on 28 July 1778. The Organic Law of the Autonomy Statute of Cantabria was approved on 30 December 1981, acquiring in that way fields, bodies and institutions of self government.
Cantabria

Because of the gulf stream, Cantabria, as well as the rest of "Green Spain" has a climate much more temperate than might be expected for its latitude, which is comparable to that of Newfoundland and Labrador. The region has a humid oceanic climate, with warm summers and mild winters. Annual precipitation is around 1,200mm at the coasts and higher in the mountains. The mean temperature is about 14°C. Snow is frequent in higher zones of Cantabria between the months of October and March. Some zones of Picos de Europa, over 2,500 meters high, have an alpine climate with snow persisting year round. The driest months are July and August, although droughts are unheard-of because rain is frequent and temperatures never get particularly high.

The influence of the mountainous relief of Cantabria is more important than its climatology, which is the main cause of the peculiar meteorologic situations like the so-called "suradas" (Ábrego wind), due to the Föhn effect: the southern wind blows strongly and dry, increasing the temperature as we get closer to the coast. This causes an air relative humidity decrease and absence of rainfalls. However, the conditions of the southern part of the mountain range are different, wind there is fresher and more humid, and can be raining.

These conditions are more frequent in fall and winter, and the temperatures are commonly higher than 20°C. Fires are often caused by this type of wind, one example is the fire which destroyed part of the city of Santander in the winter of 1941.
