Majestic Comillas and San Vicente

In the late 19th century, King Alfonso XII of Spain not only spent his summers in Comillas, he even made it the capital of Spain for a day. On your visit to this majestic town, take in the iconic Neo-Gothic style Sobrellano Palace and Antoni Gaudí's extraordinary El Capricho villa, one of the few examples of his work outside Catalonia. Travel along the coast and cross the 15th-century Maza Bridge to the nearby fishing village of San Vicente de la Barquera. Explore its medieval buildings or relax with a coffee to absorb its unique atmosphere, seascapes and dramatic mountain backdrop.
