Comillas is a small township and municipality in the northern reaches of Spain, in the autonomous community of Cantabria. The Marquisate 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. Comillas was the capital of Spain for a day, the 6th of August 1881, following an agreement between king Alfonso XII and the Minister's Council to gather at a formal meeting in town.
Comillas was first inhabited in prehistoric times when the caverns that are plentiful in the area were used as shelters. The Neolithic inhabitants left behind them rock paintings that depicted the animals they hunted. Magdalenian and Bronze Age artefacts have been found in nearby Ruiseñada, and there was an ancient mine at La Molina in which utensils and Roman coins have been found as well as an altar dedicated to the god Jupiter. Arrowheads have also been found here. On the border between Comillas and Ruiloba, heaps of shells have been found showing that the ancient people, besides hunting, specialised in collecting food from the sea.
The remains of the medieval castle of Peña del Castillo are still visible and another castle later occupied the same strategic site. The earliest documents relating to the town date to the eleventh century, although most of them were destroyed later in a fire at the town hall. Garcilaso de la Vega built a tower on the coast to demonstrate the towns dominance in maritime affairs. After the conclusion of the Valles Lawsuit against the Duke of Infantado in 1581, Comillas became part of the Province of Nine Valleys, a judicial and administrative body. Historically, the town was one of four towns making up the Alfoz of Lloredo. The town is sometimes known as the Town of the Bishops, because five priests who were born here went on to become bishops in several different dioceses during the Middle Ages.
Early in the twentieth century, the first marquis Antonio López y López invited King Alfonso XII to his mansion at Comillas and the town became popular with the aristocracy; the architect Joan Martorell built the enormous Palacio de Sobrellano on the instructions of the marquis.
Comillas is situated close to the coast in the autonomous community of Cantabria. To the north lies the Bay of Biscay and to the south the Cantabrian Mountains which run parallel with the coast, the highest point of which is the Torre de Cerredo, 2,648 metres (8,688 ft).

The rivers Saja and Besaya flow through the city.
It is the capital of the comarca (county, but with no administrative role) of Valle del Besaya which includes also composed of the municipalities of Cartes, Los Corrales de Buelna, Cieza, Arenas de Iguña, Bárcena de Pie de Concha, Molledo, Anievas and San Felices de Buelna.

Torrelavega is a regional center for industry and transport, and its weekly livestock fair is famous in Spain. Its stadium is known as El Malecon. The Cave of Altamira, famed for the prehistoric paintings found inside, is about 10 kilometers northwest of the city.
Torrelavega was founded at the end of the thirteenth century by Garci Lasso de la Vega I (the elder), Adelantado Mayor of the Kingdom of Castile in the name of King Alfonso XI of Castile. Its current name is due to the contraction of the original eponym of Torre de la Vega. The Castle or Tower of the Vega's was built by Leonor Lasso de la Vega, daughter of Garci Lasso de la Vega II, the younger, and mother of the Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de Santillana in order to administer the tax and privilege due in the family's territory.
The name of the comarca, Valle del Besaya is derived from the Astur-Leonese Bisalia, which in turn derives from the Celtic, Bis-salia (the second Salia or Saja) from the two rivers that flow through the city. Torrelavega was an important agricultural hub in the Kingdom of Castile since medieval times. Continuous population growth and industrial development enabled Torrelavega to attain city status in 1895 from the Queen Regent Maria Christina of Bourbon, Princess of the Two Sicilies. The city is home to the main seat of the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist labor union the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.

Potes - Ya hemos llegado a Potes
Potes es un municipio de España perteneciente a la comunidad autónoma de Cantabria. Está situado en el centro de la comarca de Liébana de la cual es capital. Este Ayuntamiento limita al norte con Cillorigo de Liébana, al oeste con Camaleño, al sur con Vega de Liébana y al este con Cabezón de Liébana.
La villa de Potes está situada en la confluencia de cuatro valles además de desembocar en ella el río Quiviesa en el río Deva nacido este último en altitudes de los Picos de Europa. Como el resto de la comarca lebaniega, Potes disfruta de un microclima de tipo mediterráneo que permite el cultivo de la vid, del nogal, del chopo; y con el primero de ellos se elabora el conocido orujo de la zona. Domina la localidad la montaña Arabedes (694 msnm), a la que se puede ascender desde la villa.
Potes se encuentra situado en un lugar estratégico: en el punto donde confluyen los dos ríos de Liébana: el Deva y su afluente el Quiviesa. No quedan en este municipio vestigios de la Antigüedad, aunque los historiadores suponen que debió estar poblado en la prehistoria, por haber restos en otros lugares de Liébana; que los concanos pudieron ser los habitantes en época prerromana; que los romanos debieron tender por esta localidad la calzada del «Burejo», que partía desde Pisoraca y cruzaba el Puerto de Piedrasluengas.
Este lugar fue objeto de repoblación en época de Alfonso I de Asturias. La primera mención es del año 847, como Pautes. En 947 se cita a la iglesia de San Vicente, que dependía del Monasterio de Santo Toribio. Un conde gobernaba este territorio, recibiendo privilegios reales en 1299 y 1305. En el Becerro de Behetrías (1351) Potes aparece como propiedad de don Tello, hijo de Alfonso XI. Durante la Baja Edad Media, como todo el valle de Liébana, la localidad se vio implicada en la confrontación entre los linajes de Manrique-Castañeda y Mendoza. Juan II, en torno al año 1444, resolvió la cuestión a favor del Marqués de Santillana. Los Mendoza hicieron de Potes la capital de Liébana, y erigieron en la villa una gran torre, llamada del Infantado (siglo XV). De esta misma época son construcciones destacadas como la cercana Torre de Orejón de la Lama y el puente de San Cayetano. De 1468 son las primeras ordenanzas de Potes.
En la Edad Moderna, Potes siguió siendo un lugar de señorío. El Duque del Infantado nombraba a su alcalde. Muchos lugareños emigraron a América, y las riquezas del nuevo continente permitieron la construcción de notables edificios en la villa. Diputados de la provincia de Liébana formaron parte de las Juntas de Puente San Miguel que dieron lugar a la provincia de Cantabria. En 1822, Potes tuvo ayuntamiento propio, siendo cabeza de un partido judicial que abarcaba Potes, Castro y Cillorigo, Cabezón de Liébana, Camaleño, Espinama, Pesaguero, Tresviso y Vega de Liébana. Tres décadas después, pasó a formar parte del partido judicial de San Vicente de la Barquera.
Durante la Guerra Civil, Potes se vio afectada por un incendio provocado por el bando republicano, que destruyó su casco histórico, reconstruido después con los criterios de restauración del autoritarismo. A pesar de ello, su casco antiguo es Bien de Interés Cultural, con categoría de Conjunto Histórico desde el año 1983.

Palacio de la Magdalena (Santander, Cantabria) - abril 22, 2013
El Real Palacio de La Magdalena está situado en la península de la Magdalena, frente a la isla de Mouro, en Santander (Cantabria), y fue construido entre 1909 y 1911, por suscripción popular, para albergar a la familia real española. Obra de los arquitectos Javier González Riancho y Gonzalo Bringas Vega, se enclava en el lugar donde estuvo el antiguo fortín de San Salvador de Hano, que protegía la entrada a la bahía. Fue amueblado en 1913, pasando de inmediato a ser residencia de verano del rey Alfonso XIII y su familia, quienes lo ocuparon regularmente hasta la proclamación de la II República. En 1914 fueron proyectadas las caballerizas por González Riancho. Las mismas emulan a un poblado inglés medieval con tejados puntiagudos de vertientes pronunciadas, entramados de madera vista, etc. En 1982 fue declarado monumento histórico-artístico. Entre 1993 y 1995 fue rehabilitado por el ayuntamiento de Santander, según proyecto de Luis de la Fuente.
