Matienzo is the name of a village and a karst depression some 25 km southeast of Santander in Ruesga municipality, Cantabria, northern Spain. The limestone around Matienzo is riddled with caves (up to 58.6 km in length[1]) which have been extensively explored over the last 50 years by Spanish and British cavers.[2]
As of December 2016[update] the total length of cave passage explored, was 377 km.[1]
