In 1979 it was the first Cantabrian municipality to claim autonomy for the region.
«When we launched Mountain Day, some might have thought that we were presumptuously assuming an excessive representation. That was not our intention; We simply thought that Cabezón, the valleys, the mountains and the rivers that surround it, its people, its artisans, its mansions and its old literary tradition, all of this formed a prototypical and passionately mountainous ensemble...»
Don Ambrosio Calzada, in reference to “Mountain Day”
The municipality of Cabezón de la Sal has a strategic geographical location, which has defined its historical role over the last centuries. Being next to the main regional communication routes and geologically on a saline diapir, whose deposit was exploited for centuries, have made it the head of the Saja Nansa region, bringing together an important commercial offer and having in the service sector, in addition to textile industry, its main economic resource.
The municipality is made up, in addition to the town itself, by the towns of Bustablado, Duña, Cabrojo, Carrejo, Casar de Periedo, Ontoria, Periedo, Santibáñez, Vernejo and Virgen de la Peña.
