The Cantabrians (Cantabrian and Spanish: cántabros) are the inhabitants living in the region of Cantabria, in northern Spain.[3] Sometimes they are referred to as "montañeses" (in English, "Highlander").

Note

The term Cantabrian is also a demonym for the people of Canterbury, New Zealand although in most contexts this is unlikely to produce confusion, for example with the Canterbury Rugby Football Union.[4]
