It was more comfortable to walk into the town and find a phone booth
and the town church
with its clock tower
that Suzanne admired
and a fountain
on the square.
Our time in Santillana del Mar was up. The weather was clearing so we expected to have
a good ride to the mountains (along the beach) and since we had seen Santillana from end
to end we were ready to begin the journey forward. We first stopped in Camillas where
there is a Gaudi building (among other things). Little did we know that we'd be greeted
by these folks

But, our mail goal was to find
the Gaudi designed building which didn't disappoint
on first view with its beautiful tower
or full façade
The vicinity was nice as well with the University
and the Palacio
where cameras were not allowed
We did take a picture with Gaudi himself
and these folks
were nice enough to take this picture
of all of us. This inspired us to take more views of the house

We stayed for lunch in the Gaudi house where
Jane
had the chicken stuffed with duck
and the vanilla ice cream (home made) covered with chocolate sauce
Suzanne
had the coffee black and white
(lest anyone worry, she also had a main course but we don't take pictures of anchovies).
Sarah
and David
had the vegetable plate
and David also had the crème Catalan (which is also called crème brulee)
and Benjamin
had sweet and sour duck
and chocolate mousse
We then walked back past the statue
atop the steps
and headed to this beach
where the yellow flags meant precaucion
The beach was beautiful in all directions
which the family enjoyed
as Benjamin built his sandcastle
and Sarah and Jane read
Once in Fuente De, we enjoyed the views (pictures to come later) and the low key place
as we hung out and eventually had our dinner. Suzanne
had jambon y melon
Jane
had macaroni with sausage
Sarah
had pasta
David
had the cheese plate
and Benjamin
had fried chicken
After dinner, Benjamin and David
came into focus
by doing this coloring project
while this English couple
decided they should take our group picture
