El Soplao (Cantabrian: El Sopláu) is a cave located in the municipalities of Rionansa, Valdáliga and Herrerías in Cantabria, Spain. It is considered unique for the quality and quantity of geological formations (speleothems) in its 17 miles length, 6 of which are open to the public. In it are formations such as helictites (eccentric stalactites defying gravity) and curtains (draperies, or sheets of calcite, sometimes translucent, hanging from the ceiling). Its formation dates back to the Mesozoic, in particular the Cretaceous period 240 million years ago. The entrance is at 540 metres in the Sierra Soplao Arnero. The cave was accidentally discovered during drilling for mining, subsequently being exploited for the extraction of minerals. During its operation, many local families were supported by the income they got from the mining, combined with farming livestock. After decades of neglect, speleology, and in particular the Cantabria University Speleology Club since 1975, have discovered its true geological value. On July 1, 2005 the Government of Cantabria opened it to the public and publicised it internationally, after development for tourism and protection rules prohibiting any further activity by the discovering club. Research is ongoing, resulting in the study of amber deposits, the recognition of underground stromatolites formed by manganese-oxidising bacteria, and a new mineral form, zaccagnaite-3R. The cave recently started holding music concerts. Artists like Bertín Osborne and Nando Agüeros have played inside the cave for hundreds of people in 2016. El Soplao is just one of at least 6,500 caves in Cantabria.

The Palacio de Sobrellano, also known as the Palace of the Marquess of Comillas, is a Neo-Gothic palace located in the town of Comillas, Cantabria, Spain. It was designed by Catalan architect Joan Martorell and built between 1881 and 1888 on the commission of Antonio López y López, the first Marquess of Comillas, one of the wealthiest men in 19th-century Spain. In 2002 both the palace and its adjacent chapel-pantheon were declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest) with the category of Monument. The palace is notable for containing furniture designed by Antoni Gaudí and for being the first building in Spain to use electric lighting, installed at the request of the first Marquess for one of the royal visits of King Alfonso XII. Today the palace is owned by the Government of Cantabria and is open to the public through guided tours.

The Chapel-Pantheon of Sobrellano Palace is a Neo-Gothic funerary chapel located in Comillas, Cantabria, Spain, adjacent to the Palacio de Sobrellano. It was designed by Catalan architect Joan Martorell and built between 1880 and 1881 on the commission of Antonio López y López, the first Marquess of Comillas. In 2002 the chapel, together with the adjacent palace and park, was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest) with the category of Monument. Despite its small size, the building was conceived as a miniature cathedral and functions both as a family mausoleum and as a chapel for religious services. It contains furniture designed by Antoni Gaudí and sculptural works by leading Catalan Modernista artists. Today it is owned by the Government of Cantabria and is open to the public through guided tours.

El Capricho is a villa in Comillas (Cantabria), Spain, designed by Antoni Gaudí. It was built in 1883–1885 for the summer use of a wealthy client, Máximo Díaz de Quijano, who died a year before the house was completed. Gaudí, who designed only a small number of buildings outside Catalonia, was involved with other projects at Comillas. He was the assistant of Joan Martorell on another summer residence, the palacio de Sobrellano. El Capricho belongs to the architect's orientalist period, during the beginnings of Gaudi's artwork. El Capricho allows to see all the foundations on which Modernisme is based, anticipating Europe's avant-garde Art Nouveau. The tower has been compared to a minaret. After the death of Máximo Díaz de Quijano, this building was used such as a summer house for the most economically and politically powerful people.The building fell into disrepair after the Spanish Civil War, a state in which it continued despite being declared a National Monument in 1969. In 1977, the last descendant of the López-Díaz de Quijano family sold the property and it was restored and turned into a restaurant in 1988. Finally, in 2009, the building became a museum.

Comillas is a small township and municipality in the northern reaches of Spain, in the autonomous community of Cantabria. The Marquessate of Comillas, a fiefdom of Spanish nobility, holds ceremonial office in the seat of power at a small castle which overlooks the town. The Comillas Pontifical University was housed here before it moved to Madrid, and the old university buildings are among the finest examples of architecture in the town. Besides this, there are many notable medieval and baroque buildings. From the second half of the 19th century, the Spanish royal family started spending their summers in Comillas, and so did a large part of the Spanish nobility, whose many descendants still frequent the town every summer. As a result, Comillas left an imprint of architectural relics such as palaces and monuments designed by renowned Catalan artists in particular, i.e. Gaudí or Doménech i Montaner. From the second half of the 20th century however, southern Spain and the islands became more popular due to an increasing inclination towards sunnier destinations, and so places like Marbella, Sotogrande or Mallorca became attractive prospects for the rich and famous. Although the town has seen an upsurge in the last years, it still maintains its character as "the haven for the decadent and discreet aristocracy".Comillas was the capital of Spain for one day, on 6 August 1881, following an agreement between king Alfonso XII and the Minister's Council to gather at a formal meeting in town. It also became the first place in Spain to use Edison's electric light bulbs, in 1880.
