Guriezo, Administrative municipality in Cantabria, Spain.

The municipality of Guriezo extends across 74 square kilometers of varied terrain, with El Puente serving as its administrative center at 40 meters elevation.

Archaeological discoveries in the Cave of La Cervajera reveal Bronze Age settlements, with spear points indicating human presence from 4000 BC in this region.

The municipality consists of multiple neighborhoods including Adino, Agüera, Angostina, and Balbacienta, each maintaining distinct local customs and festivities throughout the year.

Residents access municipal services through digital platforms, enabling direct communication with local government offices for administrative procedures and community updates.
