  This 
  quaint 
  little 
  Asturian 
  village 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  heart 
  of 
  the 
  "Cantabrian 
  Alps," 
  not 
  far 
  from 
  the 
  

  

  city 
  of 
  Santander.

  GUERNICA 
  

  

  Guernica 
  was 
  the 
  seat 
  of 
  the 
  diet 
  of 
  Vizcaya, 
  where 
  the 
  Basque 
  deputies 
  met 
  every 
  two 
  

   years. 
  It 
  still 
  retains 
  several 
  interesting 
  architectural 
  relics 
  of 
  the 
  days 
  when 
  the 
  Basque 
  

   provinces 
  were 
  independent.
