A good time and a good tour!!! - A really good tour with a great tour guide. It was more than I expected but I wished we had more time to see the church next to the Gaudi house

A beautiful discovery little mentioned in the reference guides - for fans of GAUDI it is unavoidable, everything that will make its subsequent success is already present in this project: ceramics, wrought iron, design so particular, genius of natural ventilation....Moreover the small seaside resort of COMILLAS is very charming with its cobblestone streets, its beautiful beach and art nouveau villas. Guides like MICHELIN or LONELY PLANET do not mention it enough

A wonder of a building - On July 12th on the go, in the face of the rainy day, I bought a guided tour of Caprice online. Maravillosa. The guided tour is totally worth it. In my case I particularly thank the Guide who has given it , Carlota, because he has managed to make the discovery of the details of the house surprising and interesting and not a simple walk through rooms without knowing very well the origin or intention of Gaudí.

Comillas, Gaudi and the Marquis of Comillas. - Rafael picked us up exactly on time and reviewed the places we were going to visit in Comillas. He reviewed the history of the towns we passed by as well as their industries past and present. We love these kind of tours because that is what makes it richer. Comillas is a town not to be missed if in Cantabrias.

Town with history on the Cantabrian coast - Nice coastal town in Cantabria. Well known for Gaudí’s whim, but with many more charming and historical places to enjoy.

An interesting afternoon - The visit to the Gaudi house was good and the stop in Comillas.. Overall we enjoyed it very much, but the start timings were changed at short notice, and we felt there was wasted time at the beginning, which was not explained, so the trip felt very rushed. More time at the Gaudi house and in Comillas would have been a good idea.
