🏝️ The “Island” of Emperors and Monks
Montehano Island is a place where nature and legend collide. This iconic limestone “green pyramid” rises 186 meters directly from the Santoña Marshes. While now connected to the mainland, it transforms back into an island with the rising tides, standing as a silent sentinel over the Cantabrian coast.
📜 Broadcasting from a Layered History
This activation is a tribute to a site steeped in mystery and power. By setting up a field station here, we are interacting with layers of human history:
- Imperial Legacy: At the base of the mountain lies the Convent of San Sebastián, the final resting place of Barbara Blomberg, mother of the legendary Don John of Austria.
- Medieval Strength: Our signals will radiate from near the ruins of the 14th-century Castillo de Montehano, once a fortress guarding the bay.
- Modern Echoes: The slopes still bear the scars of the Spanish Civil War, with trenches and bunkers carved into the rock, serving as a reminder of the mountain’s eternal strategic importance.
🦅 A Natural Watchtower
As Andoni deploys his antenna, he will be surrounded by the lush holm oak forests of the Natural Park. From this vantage point, the radio waves have a clear path across the Bay of Santoña and out to the Atlantic. It is a location that perfectly embodies the spirit of the World Beauties Award: a mix of architectural heritage, historical depth, and raw natural beauty.
