Western coast of Cantabria, Coastal region in northern Spain
The western coast of Cantabria stretches from the Deva River mouth at the Asturian border to the Saja-Besaya estuary, featuring sandy beaches and cliffs.
The region gained recognition in 1989 when several northern Spanish communities united to promote this Atlantic coastline as an international tourism destination.
Traditional fishing villages along the coast maintain maritime customs through local festivals, fishing competitions, and gastronomy based on Atlantic seafood products.
The Cantabrian Motorway connects all major coastal towns, providing direct access to beaches, natural parks, and heritage sites throughout the western region.
The combination of Atlantic winds and mountain barriers creates a specific microclimate with annual rainfall reaching 1,200 millimeters, supporting native beech forests.
