Day 89: Comillas, Spain

A rainy/cloudy morning forced us to lounge around in the hotel sala (livingroom) and read books and nap. When hunger came calling we grabbed the guide book and picked the nearest seaside village to visit and have lunch. The winner was Comillas!

Comillas has a nice beach and of course and old historic section. We got lunch in the old section before strolling over to the beach. There is also a house in town that was designed by Antoni Gaudi.

(House designed by Gaudi. Hard to see in this picture but the exterior has tons of sunflower tiles (the green squares).)


(House designed by an associate of Gaudi, Juan Martorell. Very church like and lots of stone.)

(Ilana & Siena couldn't resist walking in the water despite the cloudy and cool weather.)


(An old cemetery perched on a hill. The arches are what is left of the old church and the statue of a guardian angel mounted on top.)

It was a cool stop on a lazy cloudy day.

(Just because I like adding video footage. Just a quick clip of the plaza in Comillas. Siena, Dave, and Ilana are in this one looking around as well.)
