Backed by lush green countryside, and fronted by a stunning sandy beach, Comillas is a beautiful town with stunning examples of art nouveau architecture.
However, there was one house Angela particularly wanted to visit. El Capricho, designed by the architect Anton Gaudi, he of the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona.
Last time we were in the town we weren't in the position to pay to visit anywhere, but now things are different. Especially as we are both now classed as seniors, so entry was just five euros each. The house was amazing, dominated by it's Persian style minaret. Sadly it fell into neglect, but was fortunately rescued and restored. Tomorrow we are off to Santander. The aire there is always busy, so arrival by nine thirty in the morning is advisable. Taking advantage of the facilities on offer at our site, we showered and washed some smalls, all ready for an early start tomorrow.
