Costa Quebrada - Geodiversity Route
Costa Quebrada is a stretch of coastline that constitutes a true classroom of sea and land where both teachers, in a book of stone sheets with traces of salt, not only show us the result of their rough but tender relationship in thousands of years, but that through the footprints in the rocks of different origin, structure and composition that the sea is stripping, lead us to intuit and know the processes that over millions of years, have given rise to the relief of Cantabria, thus constituting to say it, a codex of the memory of our land.Thus, in the scarce twenty kilometers that separate the sandbanks of Liencres from the Magdalena peninsula, the Geodiversity Route that is Costa Quebrada surprises us with an exceptional variety of coastal forms that apart from their beauty have generated a no less valuable variety of biological communities underpinning the slogan of “Geodiversity Begets Biodiversity”.

Unique rugged coastline.
