Cantabrian culture, rooted in northern Spain, has a rich mythology steeped in its rugged landscapes of forests and mountains. Its folklore features unique creatures such as the Ojancanu, a chaos-bringing giant, and Anjanas, benevolent forest fairies. These tales often reflect themes of nature's power and humanity's resilience. Emerging in the Iron Age and thriving through the medieval period, Cantabrian traditions continue to shape local identity and festivals today.
