Cantabria

 

Cantabria. Google Maps.

The ancestral home of the Campuzano family is Cantabria, an autonomous community in northern Spain. The namesake village of Campuzano is next to or part of Torrelavega, the second largest population center in Cantabria. The family mentioned in the García Carraffa volume was from Cuchia, located north of Torrelavega.

Campuzano, Spain.

Cuchia, and its surrounding beaches, looks like a place I need to add to my travel bucket list. There are archives for the church in Cuchia (posting here for later research), although these may be under the administration of the Diocese of Santander. I might have to pair a visit to Cantabria with a trip to neighboring Basque Country as I learn more about my Vasquez and Suastegui ancestors too.

Cuchia, Spain.
