Abstract

The diversity of features meeting in metropolitan areas and the variety of definition and delimitation
criteria of such areas, often difficult the empirical study of specific systems. However, in this paper,
a selection is done of highlights from the metropolitan, such as commuting, evolutionary processes
from the point of view of demographics, land use from an official source produced by the National
Geographic Institute —as is the Corine Land Cover— and municipal planning, which has so much
influence in shaping the final territorial model. On this basis it approaches the metropolitan
Santander-Torrelavega set in order to analyze its polynuclear behavior, especially focused and
somewhat biased toward the two nuclei after which the area is named, whose interaction is
facilitated and channeled along the axis of the A-67.
