Book on Viator

Undoubtedly, Comillas is one of the most beautiful towns in Cantabria and, from the architectural point of view, more spectacular, as it retains its medieval and Renaissance essence, but, at the same time, is a unique example of the modernist style in Cantabria. We will know the interior and exterior of its greatest exponent, as is the Caprice of Gaudí.

We will visit the old town seeing the exteriors of its two town halls and the Church of San Cristobal; as well as the 19th century palaces built by some of the best Catalan artists who gathered here, as if it were a general rehearsal, of what would be the wonderful modernist style and that we will see throughout our visit.

Some of the modernist monuments that house this beautiful town are as famous as El Capricho by Antoni Gaudí, the Palacio de Sobrellano by Joan Martorell or the Pontifical University, which we will see on the hill. You can't leave Cantabria without meeting them.
