Experience a Luxury Retreat in Catalonia Worth Up to £1,450 at Camiral Golf & Wellness

I wonder if it’s just me, or does the lunch my friend brought smell rather unappealing? He doesn’t seem to share my sentiment, lounging in my car as he chomps on a sandwich and immerses himself in a locally created computer game. With a beaming grin, he exclaims, “This is living the dream!”

“Research findings might suggest otherwise,” I retort, only to be met with a rather unpleasant burp from him. Growing impatient, I decide it’s time to kick off our exploration.

Our first stop is the childhood residence of a comedian and actor (his mother was named Mary) located on the western outskirts of a town. The comedian’s father was employed near the town center, working at a university that also educated a physicist (mother: Jean) frequently featured on BBC Radio 4. We make our second stop here, before proceeding to a house where a mathematician (mother: Frances) was a regular visitor. All of these individuals were or are outstanding writers.

Aside from this, we visit a cathedral that lacks flying buttresses and a hospital devoid of any medical personnel.

My friend follows along, albeit reluctantly. As I head towards a hilltop church, primarily constructed in the 19th century and situated three miles east-southeast of the cathedral, he shoots me a dubious glance — darker, even, than a 1999 book about black holes in a dimly lit cellar in Blackheath. “Adder attacks are not uncommon in this county!” he warns. “And that seems to be their ideal habitat.”

“At least they don’t have fiery eyes and snapping jaws,” I joke. My attempt at humor falls flat; he quickly retreats down the hillside faster than one could say “Callooh, Callay.”

Questions for Consideration

1. What is the town’s name? 2. What is the comedian and actor’s surname?
