Time to visit Spain

Cantabria is a Spanish historical region and autonomous community with Santander as its capital city. 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 (from here). 
With a surface of 5 300 square kilometers Cantabria offers extremely varied landscapes and climates. there are still bears, wolves and eagles in its mountain ranges, Picos de Europa and the natural preserve of Saja, and the rivers are full of salmons and trouts. Pico de tres Mares ("peak of the three seas") is a real curiosity: a drop of water that falls here may equally arrive to Atlantic Ocean, by Duero river, the Cantabric Sea, by Nansa river, or the Mediterranean Sea by Ebro river.
Ebro is a river in north-eastern part of Spain. The source is in the CantabrianMountains. Flows in a depression between the Pyrenees and the Iberian Mountains. In the lower reaches, flowing through the Catalonian mountains, creates a breakthrough. Flows into the Mediterranean Sea, creating a fast-growing delta.

In total contrast is the coast with beautiful bays and romantic fishing villages. In between you will find green valleys and hills.

The postcard came to me from other part of Europe, it needed 1 week to appeared here. Nice :)
