The Cantabrian Mountain range by the South, that are united to the Tips from Europe to the Southwest, and the Bay of Biscay to the North constitutes the limits and the geographic pecualiaridad more notable of Cantabria. The Mountain range steeply loses height towards the Cantabrian (less than 40 km in line straight) cut perpendicularly by fluvial valleys. This produces a relief of mounts and cols that of the South to North are losing height and which they box individual rivers, torrential in his origin and of short route, that end up ending at Cantabrian at estuaries and the bays. The central part of the Region extends to the South of the Cantabrian Mountain range in two regions, Campoo and Valderredible that enter in earth meseteñas. Deva, Nansa, Saja, Besaya, Pas, Juniper oil, Asón and Agüera are the main ones of these rivers of the West to This. These rivers form pretty valleys in their reduction, sometimes vertiginous, from the Mountain range to the sea. And other valleys its affluents. Single the Ebro river, that arises in Fontibre, in Campoó, does not spill its waters to the Cantabrian, but to the Mediterraneo, after its passage in his first kilometers by territories of Cantabria, where it is dammed in the Stream prey with regulating aims of his volume. This gives rise to that the Ebro to their passage by Valderredible, after the prey, is a river that paradoxicalally. |
