23. Comillas, Cantabria: Architectural Whimsy by the Sea

Comillas offers a surprising blend of Cantabrian coastal beauty and unique modernist architecture. While it boasts a lovely beach and harbour, the real draw is its unexpected architectural gems, including Antoni Gaudí's "El Capricho" – a colourful, whimsical villa – and the grand Sobrellano Palace and Pontifical University. Strolling through this town feels like stepping into a different world, where elegant buildings meet the wild northern coast. It’s a fascinating detour for those seeking culture and history alongside their seaside relaxation, far from typical resort towns.
