Comillas

Cantabria

A small seaside town with — improbably — a Gaudí villa and a Modernist university.

A short history

The first Marqués of Comillas brought Catalan Modernist architects (including Gaudí) to his hometown in the 1880s. The result is one of Spain's strangest and loveliest urban ensembles.
