Description

Discover magnificent modernist architecture in the beautiful town of Comillas. On this trip, you'll get to see breathtaking buildings such as the Gaudí designed villa El Capricho.

Description

After picking you up at the selected time from your hotel or the meeting point, we'll set off for Comillas.

45 minutes later we'll arrive at our destination. Did you know Comillas became a summer destination for the Castillian aristocracy in the 20th century? We'll visit the ancient Seminario Mayor, located on top of a hill where we'll enjoy spectacular views of the town and the Palacio de Sobrellano palace.

Next, we'll head to the Villa Quijano, more commonly known as the Capricho de Gaudi. This mansion from the artist's orientalist period is one of just three buildings he designed outside Catalonia.

Our tour will end with a panoramic bus tour of Comillas. We'll see the majestic Ángel Exterminador sculpture that stands guard over the ancient cemetery. We'll also visit the centre of Comillas to discover the Fuente de los Tres Caños fountain.

At the end of the trip we'll head back to Santander and the activity will end at the starting point 5 hours after meeting up.

Un acierto está excursión, el Seminario un sorprendente descubrimiento, no podía imaginar que su interior fuese tan espectacular. En la visita al Capricho de Gaudí, Aitor con sus explicaciones nos acercó a todo aquello que se escapa a la mirada, haciendo incapie donde teníamos qué observar para que no se nos escapara. Gracias por este día Translate this opinion into English.

This excursion is a success, the Seminary is a surprising discovery, I could not imagine that its interior was so spectacular. During the visit to Gaudí's Capricho, Aitor with his explanations brought us closer to everything that escapes the eye, highlighting where we had to observe so that it would not escape us. Thank you for this day Opinion translated. Show original.

No puedo poner más que excelente porque no hay más calificacion. El guía se implicó mucho y a todo lo que se le pidió accedió con agrado. No pudimos hacerla por la mañana porque no llegabamos y nos la hicieron por la tarde para nosotros solos. Así que no puedo tener ni la más mínima queja Translate this opinion into English.

I cannot put more than excellent because there is no more qualification. The guide was very involved and agreed to everything that was asked of him with pleasure. We couldn't do it in the morning because we didn't arrive and they did it for us in the afternoon by ourselves. So I can't have the slightest complaint Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión estuvo genial. Nos recogieron puntuales en el hotel. La guía Mercedes fue muy simpática y agradable y durante el trayecto nos estuvo contando historias y curiosidades de los lugares, lo hizo muy ameno. Luego durante la visita al seminario Mayor y al Capricho de Gaudí, nos dejó con los guías locales de allí. Las explicaciones muy amenas y didácticas. Muy buena excursión y super completa. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was great. They picked us up on time at the hotel. The Mercedes guide was very nice and pleasant and during the journey she was telling us stories and curiosities of the places, she made it very enjoyable. Later, during the visit to the Major Seminary and Gaudí's Caprice, he left us with the local guides there. Very entertaining and didactic explanations. Very good excursion and super complete.
