Daniel, On my flight to Spain this year I met an exchange student returning to Madrid whose parents had just purchased a home in Comillas - she was eager to see it. Good, concise page, great pictures! | stew51 Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:29 UTC
El Capricho de Gaudi will feature on a Spanish postage stamp from tomorrow (April 26th). The manageress, Masako-san, is a good friend of ours (my wife is also Japanese) and we have spent many happy hours there. | micas_pt Thu Aug 12, 2004 16:02 UTC
Comillas looks like a nice place to visit while in Cantabria. Gaudi's works have always pleased me. | genevadavid Fri Sep 26, 2003 16:59 UTC
We visited Comillas in July 2003 and were pleasantly surprised by this Cantabrian jewel. Your photos are very good. |
