Cantabria
Cantabria

Cantabria (, also UK: , Spanish: [kanˈtaβɾja] ) is an autonomous community and province in northern Spain with Santander as its capital city. It is called a comunidad histórica, a historic community, in its current Statute of Autonomy. It is bordered on the east by the Basque autonomous community (province of Biscay), on the south by Castile and León (provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay). Cantabria belongs to Green Spain, the name given to the strip of land between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains, so called because of its particularly lush vegetation, due to the wet and temperate oceanic climate. The climate is strongly influenced by Atlantic Ocean winds trapped by the mountains; the average annual precipitation is about 1,200 mm (47 inches). Cantabria has archaeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic period, although the first signs of human occupation date from the Lower Paleolithic. The most significant site for cave paintings is in the cave of Altamira, dating from about 37,000 BCE and declared, along with nine other Cantabrian caves, as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Historically, the territory sits in the area of Cantabria in the ancient period, but from the Late Middle Ages to the early 19th century, the name Cantabria also referred to the territory of the Basques, especially the lordship of Biscay.The modern Province of Cantabria was constituted on 28 July 1778 at Puente San Miguel, Reocín. The yearly Day of the Institutions holiday on 28 July celebrates this. The Organic Law of the Autonomy Statute of Cantabria, approved on 30 December 1981, gave the region its own institutions of self-government.

The meeting house of Puente San Miguel (Spanish: Casa de juntas de Puente San Miguel), also known as the meeting house of the Nine Valleys, is a small building located in Puente San Miguel (Cantabria, Spain). It is best known for hosting, on 28 July 1778, the assembly of deputies of the Province of the Nine Valleys of the Asturias of Santillana who met there to create the Province of Cantabria, the first modern and fully structured provincial administrative system in the territory that today forms the autonomous community of Cantabria. Before this date, the building served as the meeting place for the deputies of the Nine Valleys. The principal function of the assembly, similar to those of Asturias and the Basque provinces, was to defend provincial interests from royal authority, with special regard for local fueros, customs, privileges, freedoms, franchises, and jurisdictional, governmental, fiscal, and military matters. In 1801, as a result of the territorial policies of Charles IV, the Puente San Miguel assembly and the Province of Cantabria ceased to exist. The Maritime province of Santander was then created by royal decree and made official in 1815. Meetings in the assembly house ended in 1824; the building was later auctioned and demolished. In 1994, it was faithfully reconstructed as a symbol of the origins of modern Cantabria. The regional president delivers a commemorative address there each year during the celebration of the Día de las Instituciones de Cantabria on 28 July, marking the anniversary of the historic 1778 assembly. The building itself is a small, simple structure with a square floor plan and a hipped roof, built in stone, with the entrance wall partially open and constructed of wood. Inside, the coat of arms of Cantabria appears carved into the walls, alongside those of the municipalities that made up the Province of the Nine Valleys: Alfoz de Lloredo, Cabezón de la Sal, Cabuérniga, Camargo, Santa María de Cayón, Penagos, Piélagos, Reocín, and Villaescusa. Dominating the room above the stone presidential table is a wooden rendering of the logo of the Parliament of Cantabria.
