We start the day with a trip to the spectacular Sequoia Forest, a natural jewel in Monte Cabezón, declared a Natural Monument and Protected Natural Area.

Here, an expert guide will take you on a tour among trees over 36 metres high, whose majesty creates a landscape that is unique in Europe.

The next stop is Comillas, where tradition and modernity blend together uniquely. From the bus, we will enjoy the panoramic views of the Pontifical University and the Sobrellano Palace.

Gaudí's Capricho, one of his modernist masterpieces outside Catalonia, awaits you with a façade decorated with ceramics and ingenious details.

During the guided tour, you will explore its spaces, from the semi-basement to the tower, enjoying the unique creativity of the famous Catalan architect.

After this stop, we will visit the main monuments of Comillas, such as the Fountain of the Three Spouts, the Corro Campíos and the church of San Cristóbal.

We will also visit historical sites such as the Casa del Ocejo and the statue of the Heart of Jesus, as well as enjoying incomparable views of the city.
