Soba, Mountain municipality in Cantabria, Spain

The municipality of Soba extends across 214 square kilometers of terrain, featuring valleys, mountains, and dense forests of beech and oak trees.

In 1300, the Velasco family acquired the lordship of Soba, marking a significant shift in the territorial control of this Cantabrian region.

The municipality preserves traditional Cantabrian architecture through its stone houses, agricultural structures, and mountain settlements spread across multiple valleys.

Soba maintains a network of 74 caves and chasms within the Alto Asón Cave System, making it a center for geological exploration.

The territory presents elevation variations from 187 to 1,605 meters, creating diverse microclimates that support distinct flora and fauna communities.
