Dining
Cantabrian cuisine is as varied as its landscapes–fish and seafood turn up alongside game, veal, and beef on local restaurant's menus. Some specialities typical of the region include rice cooked Santander-style (with milk and salmon), hake fish in green sauce, fried calamari rings (rabas), tuna pot (sorropotun), anchovies, sardines, and hearty stews (try the venison stew or the so-called "mountain-stew", cocido montanes with beans, chorizo sausage bits, greens, and black pudding).
