	Journal of San Diego History
		Nuevo Santander was situated along the eastern coast of New Spain between the Pánuco River and the Bay of Espiritu Santo at the mouth of the San Antonio River, a distance of about 120 leagues.
		In Nuevo Santander the Indians were to be evangelized and urbanized in pueblo-missions; in Alta California the same purpose was to be accomplished in mission-pueblos.
		In view of the principles and precedents established in Nuevo Santander, and in view of the policy of the viceregal government with respect to racial integration between Indians and gente de razón, the legal arguments advocated by the Fernandinos in their opposition to Pueblo San Jose and the Villa de Branciforte seem relatively unimportant.

		In 1580 six ships, carrying 600 to 700 Spanish, Italian and Irish soldiers, left Santander and sailed for Dingle.
		On the Dingle Peninsula the inland promontory forts at Caherconree and Faha (the latter being the highest fort in Ireland at 2500 feet or 762m O.D.) may be of this period, as may some of the uninvestigated coastal cliff-top promontory forts, of which there are at least twenty on Corca Dhuibhne.
		The Dingle Peninsula appears to have experienced something of a population explosion during the Bronze Age, if the quantity of monuments of that period surviving in Corca Dhuibhne are anything to judge by.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Diocese of Santander
		In Roman times Santander was called Portus Victoriae, in memory of Agrippa's having conquered it from the Cantabrians, and in the period of the reconquest was regarded as one of the Asturias—Asturias de Sant Ander, between the Rivers Saja and Miesa.
		The other parishes of Santander are: San Francisco, an ancient convent of the Friars Minor, facing on the Plaza de Becedo; Consolación; the parish of the Society of Jesus, connected with the old Jesuit college; the new parish of Santa Lucia.
		The town of Santander aided King St. Ferdinand when he conquered Seville; it broke the iron chains with which the Guadalquiver had been closed, by ramming them with a ship—which is the armorial blazon of the city.

	Bay of Biscay 1997
		The return journey promised more than the outward, as we were leaving Santander at 11.00am, meaning we would be crossing the whole of the Bay of Biscay during daylight.
		Most of the daylight on this journey was spent crossing the English Channel and passing the Brest Peninsula of France, crossing the bulk of the Bay of Biscay, generally the most interesting area, during the hours of darkness.
		We estimated that we would have reached the deep water of Biscay at around an hour after nightfall, and would have passed out of it by around an hour before sunrise, so we had just missed what was probably the most productive area, and hence had not seen quite as much as we had hoped.
