Green Spain (direct translation into English of the Spanish España Verde, although in Spanish the phrase cornisa cantábrica is more widely used and preferred) is the name given to a lush natural region in Northern Spain, stretching along the Atlantic coast from the border with Portugal to the border with France. The region includes nearly all of Galicia, Asturias, and Cantabria, in addition to the northern parts of the Basque Country, as well as a small portion of Navarre.
