Port of Comillas. Cantabria

Comillas

The Modernism of Gaudí in wonderful coastal surroundings

Cantabria

Comillas is 50 kilometres from Santander and is a designated historic-artistic site. It has cobbled streets and squares with ancestral houses, towers and Modernist style buildings.

Special mention should be made of: "El Capricho", a building designed by Antoni Gaudí, with its unmistakable portico and ceramic wall decoration; Sobrellano Palace, a Neo-Gothic construction; the Pontifical University, which dominates the whole village. Comillas has fine sand beaches, perfect for water sports. Alongside the beach you will find Oyambre Nature Reserve, a large coastal area with dunes, cliffs, marshland and an estuary, with a wealth of bird life. We would recommend walks on the trails that run through the village.
