Comillas

Comillas lies along Spain’s Cantabrian Sea coast, where green hills descend towards a rugged northern shoreline. This small Cantabrian town has an unusually strong architectural identity: Antoni Gaudí’s El Capricho, built in the 1880s, is distinguished by its colourful ceramic sunflower decoration and eclectic design. The neo-Gothic Sobrellano Palace and the former Pontifical University of Comillas reflect the ambitions of the 19th-century Marquis of Comillas, whose patronage reshaped the town. Beaches and coastal paths place its historic centre within a distinctly Atlantic setting. See how Comillas connects with the Cantabrian coast by browsing webcams nearby.
