Comillas is a very beautiful monumental town with a population of 2400 people during the year which practically doubles in the month of August with tourists, mainly Spanish.
The capital, Santander is a very popular summer destination and has several wonderful sandy beaches, a marina, cathedral and lots of shops and places to eat. We recommend you park in the Sardinero football stadium, follow the signs for the Sardinero and right at the end of the motorway you’ll see the stadium. This is where you will find the beaches. Then just wander around. It’s a very long city so it might take you some time to get from the beach to the city centre.
If you like fish and seafood then San Vicente de la Barquera is the place for you. A lovely small fishing town with a castle on a hill, and a really long sandy beach. Loads of great fish restaurants. Again 14km away in the opposite direction towards Oviedo.
Next to Comillas you will find Oyambre, which is a nature reserve with a long sandy beach.

Guest comments
Good apartment good location helpful owner. - Norman, 1/Dec/2007
Good apartment and location for a family. The apartment is in a quiet new development, about 10-15 minutes walk from Comillas itself, which has good places to eat, cultural tourism and good beach.
Apartment itself is clean and confortable. Owner was very helpful with lots of information about best places to eat and visit.
The apartment is a good base from which to explore Cantabria. San Vicente de la Barquera (food), Altamira, Puente Viesgo (caves), Santander (shopping & beach) are all good day trips by car, if you don't fancy travelling far, then Cobreces and Santillana are very close.
Lee and Jackie, 15/Sep/2008 - This new apartment is comfortable and has been kept in really good condition with all the necessary equipment for a comfortable holiday. Located on the outskirts of Comillas the town is only a 15 minute walk away. The location is perfect to relax in after a busy day sun bathing or site seeing.
