	Music of Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The traditional music of Galicia is probably the least related to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, although some similarities exist with the neighbouring areas of Asturias and Cantabria or Castille and northern Portugal and, in a similar way to the Balearic islands, it is characterized by an extensive use of bagpipes.
		Cantabria has a rich dance repertoire for soprano clarinet, also known as pito o requinto (not to be confounded with requinta fife).
		The 2/4 (or more rarely 3/4) alborada is also found in Galicia and Asturias; the term signifies a song at or to the sunrise, and is played at the beginning of a day's festivities.

	Ferienhaus Andalusien - Finca Andalusien
		The Atlantic regions Asturias, Cantabria and Galicia are hardly known outside of Spain, yet they offer superb possibilities for a relaxing or active holiday.
		Violent winds are rare and due to the protected location of most beaches in small bays the sea is usually remarkably quiet.
		This is surely the nicest region of the entire Spanish North Coast: without the industry or intensive farming, hardly any tourism, original small villages and magnificent small sand beaches that you will find along the jagged coast line.

		Trás-os-Montes' musical heritage is closely related to the music of Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias.
		Some of the songs from this region are in the archaic language of Mirandês, including the most prominent group Galandum Galundaina, who have rejected a claim of Celtic heritage like their neighbors in Galicia and Asturias, instead focussing on the Arab influence.

		The Spanish government has promised financial compensation for losses sustained by the fishermen, in an area which is famous for its shellfish, octopus and crabs.
		In Galicia alone, 452 beaches have been affected, with 250 of them now considered as "apparently clean", which means that the surface of the sand is clean but that fuel might be present under the surface having sunk through the sand.
		The other 202 beaches are still contaminated by fuel, either on their surface or in the rocks around them.
