Sierra del Escudo de Cabuérniga, Mountain range and protected area in Cantabria, Spain
The Sierra del Escudo de Cabuérniga extends 50 kilometers from east to west between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay, featuring numerous gorges.
Since 2006, this mountain range has received protection status as part of the Natura 2000 network, preserving its natural environment for future generations.
