Wikipedia: Green Spain (direct translation into English of the Spanish España Verde) is the name given to the Spanish northern maritime façade exposed to the Atlantic Ocean in Galicia which also runs along the coastal strip lying north of the Cantabrian and Basque mountains, along the Bay of Biscay. This land strip includes Asturias, Cantabria, and the northern half of the Basque Country all the way from Galicia through the French border. It is called green because it has a wet and temperate oceanic climate which allows lush pastures and forests to thrive, providing a landscape similar to that of Ireland, Great Britain and the western coast of France.
