La Marina is the name traditionally given to the area of Cantabria facing the sea, in contrast to La Montaña, its inland part. The differences between the two are orographic, climatic and ecological as well as anthropological and ethnographic. In the case of La Marina, which occupies only a third of the autonomous community, the orography and climate are gentle, the population density is much higher and, therefore, it has a higher level of development. Several of the largest population centers in the region are located in this area, with its capital, Santander, standing out. Chapter 2 of the Regional Land Use Plan of Cantabria defines La Marina as a distinguishable physical environment, with a milder climate and relief than inland Cantabria, and with a higher population development.
