Posada Los Trastolillos

Comillas


At this peaceful rural retreat between Comillas and Playa Oyambre, 13 bright rooms of varied sizes and colours, with tasteful, uncluttered decor, are complemented by a sunny breakfast room, a comfy salón with wood stove, and a library/reading room. Outside is a field of cows, with distant vistas of hills, rocky headlands and the ocean.

It's a fine base for surfing Oyambre and other nearby beaches.
