The Suevi, Vandals and Alans no entered in Cantabria and the Goths only timidly because they were received with violence,Cantabrians were famous for being very warlike.

The R1a of Cantabria is older, before written history.

Is difficult to know for sure, after the Islamic invasion of the rest of Iberia is true that Cantabria becomes in a refuge for SpanishGoths but I doubt that the Goths, coming originally from the South of Sweden and being a minority were the reason of this genes, the archaeology also speak of a relationship with the ancient peoples of the Danube and low Rhine, I think this is the most likely origin.

Anyway the R1b haplogroup is the majority in Cantabria.

Utcumque mecum vos eritis, libens
insanientem nauta Bosphorum
temptabo et urentis harenas

visam Britannos hospitibus feros
et laetum equino sanguine Concanum,
visam phaeretratos Gelonos
et Scythicum inviolatus amnem.1
