Vermont in Cantabria
I always think of Spain with bulls, not cows, so the green rolling hills of dairy country in Cantabria came as a real surprise. As I walked the uphill road from Santillana del Mar to the Altamira cave museum, these Holsteins came bounding over to the fence. I couldn’t help but think that I’d stumbled into a Woody Jackson landscape of west-central Vermont — except for the 12th century Romanesque country church in the valley below and the 20,000-year-old paintings in the caves of the surrounding mountains.
