Sobrellano Palace

We attented the Spanish tourguide to be able to enter the palace. Sparsely furnished but the quality of workmanship is outstanding. Don't pass it without a visit. 7 euro's/ 5 for retirees

Absolutely breathtaking palace, gardens and views. You can visit inside however it has to be via 45 min guided tour (5€ or so), and it is only in Spanish. I'm level B2ish and got the jist of what he was saying but it would have been even better if there had been an English option. I didn't book in advance (Sept'24) and there was a tour starting shortly after I enquired. Very much enjoyed it and would recommend, even just to explore the free outdoor section.

The Sobrellano Palace in Comillas, Spain, is a stunning example of neo-Gothic and modernist architecture. Built in the late 19th century by architect Joan Martorell, the palace was commissioned by the Marquis of Comillas. Its intricate design, grand hallways, and ornate furnishings reflect the opulence of the era.

The garden area is for free (you can observe from outside the palace and the church). The entrance in the palace/building can only be done with guided groups, which start every 45mins and cost 5eur/person. Waiting time for the next tour was too long on a summer weekend noon, therefore we skipped the entrance. Note: Although the El Capricho de Gaudi is next to the temple+palace, they are separated by a fence. You can not pass easily between them, only by doing a whole 10-minute walking loop.

Stunning neo gothic palace perfectly showing the wealth and the power the marquis of Comillas had reached. The best artists from Barcelona were employed on the team of architect Martorell; even young Gaudi produced some finely handmade piece of furnitures. The tour is in Spanish and the guide is outstanding. Absolutely great value.

Absolutely stunning building with so many unique features. The interior is amazing. So worth visiting. Very friendly and helpful staff in ticket booth. Don't miss the adjoining cathedral, built in the same style.

vaguely located on the route of the camino de santiago perhaps more permanently located right next-door to the famous gaudi whim house which is otherwise hidden but accessible for free from the palaces gardens immediately to the left down the shaded hidden pathway as you're facing the palace this is perhaps the best view of the gaudi home. the palacio perhaps better seen from the outside (echo to other comments) as entry to the garden area is free and inside visible through the windows, since tour reservations are necessary and only offered in español

Definitely worth taking the tour, it lasted 45 minutes (in Spanish mind you, not sure if they do them in English as well) and gave lots of interesting information about the history of the palace, the Lopez family and how they got (bought) their dukedom. The palace is in amazing condition thanks to its sale to the Cantabrian government in the 80s.
