SANTANDER

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 189 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANTANDER ,'a maritime province of northern Spain, bounded N. by the Bay of Biscay, E. by the province of Biscay, S. by Burgos and Palencia, and W. by Leon and Oviedo. Pop. (1900) 276,003; area 2ro8 sq. m. The province is traversed from
east
  to west by the Cantabrian Mountains (q.v.), which in the Penas de Europa reach a height of over 8600 ft., and send off numerous branches to the sea. On the north side of the range the streams are all short, the
principal
  being the Ason, the Miera, the Pas, the Besaya, the Saja and the Nana, which flow into the Bay of Biscay;
part
  of the province lies
south
  of the watershed, and is drained by the upper Ebro (q.v.). The province is traversed from north to
south
  by the railway and high road from Santander by Palencia to Madrid; the highest point on the railway (yenta de Pazozal) is 3229 ft. above the sea. Other railways connect Santander with
Bilbao
  on the
east
  and with Cabezona de la Sal on the west; there are also many good state, provincial and municipal roads, besides several narrow-gauge
mining
  railways.
Santander was
part
  of the Roman province of Cantabria, which, after passing under the
empire
  of the Goths, became the principality of
Asturias
  (q.v.). The portion called Asturia de Santa Juliana, or Santillana, was included in the kingdom of Old Castile, and, on the subdivision of the old provinces of Spain in 1833, became the province of Santander.
