Comillas

Last Saturday my girl and I took our bags and went by car to Comillas to spend the day there.

Comillas is a little village in Cantabria, near Torrelavega, quiet far form Bilbao (two hours aprox. if you go by car). It is by the sea and has lots of 19th century's noblemen houses and momuments; the most important maybe is "The Quirk" (El Capricho), an old house decorated with sunflowers' tiles made by Gaudi, a famous Catalunyan architect. Appart from this outstanding building, Comillas is a very touristic place, with very good views and where you don't have to walk a lot to see different beautiful places.

Although it's beauty, Comillas is a small village where you can't do nothing appart from walking and seeing places, so maybe it becomes a little bit "boring" at the end of the day.

I would only recommend Comillas to people who like visiting beautiful villages with lots of momuments, but, if you haven't seen The Quirk yet and you have a chance... go and see it without any doubt.

Can somebody (from Fergus's class) write here what have we done today and if there is some homework for christmas?¿ Thanks!

Yes, there was homework, only the problem is that someone has kept the photocopies for you as you didn't turn up on the last day. In any case, you can get yourself up to date with everything in the workbook by making sure you have finished everything in the workbook from page 15-19.
We finished everything on page 27 and we did a Christmas song called Fairytale of New York.
