It is bordered on the east by way of the Basque Autonomous Community, at the south with the aid of Castile and Leon, at the west through the Principality of Asturias, and at the north by way of the Cantabrian Sea. 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 in particular lush plants, because of the moist and slight oceanic weather.
The weather is strongly motivated by means of Atlantic Ocean winds trapped by the mountains; the common annual precipitation is set 1,200 mm.
