Solórzano is a municipality in the autonomous community of Cantabria, in northern Spain. It is one of the many small municipalities that make up the Cantabrian countryside, a region characterised by green, hilly terrain between the Cantabrian Sea and the Cantabrian Mountains.
Like other municipalities in the region, Solórzano is a rural administrative unit that may comprise several small population centres rather than a single large town. Cantabria's municipalities vary widely in size, and many, including Solórzano, are small in both area and population.
The municipality lies within the broader cultural and geographic context of Cantabria, whose capital is Santander. The region is known for its coastal landscapes, inland valleys, and a settlement pattern of scattered villages and small towns.
