Comillas beach, a perfect stretch of golden sand set on a lovely bay with a small fishing harbour at one end is surely one of Cantabria´s most beautiful. Favoured by royalty from the 'Belle Epoque' through to the present day, the town of Comillas boasts a fine collection of Modernist architecture including Gaudi's Capricho as well as a lovely old town. All this provides the perfect backdrop to the bay where the sea invites to swim in at any time. The little fishing harbour still sees the colourful fishing boats come and go and in the two typical bars there you can get the real taste of the sea even on Chriistmas Day.
