The tiles of El Capricho de Gaudi are a soft green evocative of artichokes - Gaudi designed this Summer House in Comillas The house is decorated with ceramic sunflowers and typical Gaudiesque flourishes including wrought benches that face inwards to the house, and a magnificent tower.

Comillas, on the north coast, is one of the stops on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella. Pilgrims here are called Peregrinos, which gives a new twist to the name Peregrine. The Peregrinos are big business here, and all needs of the flesh are catered for. Pilgrimages go better with Coca Cola.
