 Spain and Portugal for Visitors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
"Like the rest of the north of Spain [6], the province of Cantabria [7] is largely unknown to foreign visitors, but this is less the case of the Spanish themselves.
Cantabria has most of the attractions typical of the north of Spain (beautiful countryside, gorgeous coastline, historic towns and villages, fabulous food and drink), lacks the political problems of the neighbouring Basque Country [8], and is more reachable from most of Spain than Asturias [9] or Galicia [10].
Its main points of interest are the capital itself, home to about a third of the population of the province; Altamira; Santillana del Mar and a host of attractive country towns and fishing villages; its gastronomy; and the Picos de Europa, which stretch into the west of the region." Visit Cantabria [11].

It is asserted by some (Fernández Guerra, Cantabria) that Old Castile was called Vellegia and afterwards Vétula, that it was called Vieja, or Antiqua, to distinguish it from Castilla la Nueva — the New Castile formed from the lands which since the eleventh century had been reconquered beyond the mountain chain of the Carpetano-Vetónica.
