We will visit these magnificent places while discovering their history. We will see the house where King Afonso XII stayed . Did you know that Comillas was the capital of Spain for a day?
I will show you a sculpture that had to be relocated since it did not enter the place it was destined to be. Let's see who is the first on the tour to discover it!
We will see all the details of Gaudí's Capricho , as well as its relationship with music and why there are so many sunflowers on the façade.
We will find two figures hidden in the entrance gate of the University and I will explain why they are there.
We will continue towards the cemetery where we have an amazing story to tell you, but first we will give a few brushstrokes to the history of Comillas with the cinema.
24 films have been recorded in Comillas and we will go through some of the enclaves where they have been filmed, I will also tell you that I have participated in the recording of 4 of them. Comillas is so beautiful that film directors have been filming their films in our town since 1935.
We encourage you to discover this fishing village with me!
