1st Destination: Casa Santa at Jardin de
Miramar
First stop, Casa Santa at Jardin de
Miramar. Jardin de Miramar is a three-hectare property which is subdivided into
different themed areas. This place is usually used to host parties, wedding
receptions and other functions. Our main objective here is to view Casa Santa.
Please note that there is an entrance fee to be collected for you to view the
Santa Clause museum.
After paying the entrance fee, we went to view the Santa Clause collections. The Casa Santa houses over
3,000 Santa Clause collections in different sizes and shapes. These Santas are
personal collection of the owner of Jardin de Miramar.
We also went around and checked the
different areas of Jardin de Miramar. I will be sharing pictures of several
items from the Santa Clause collection and also show some parts of the Jardin
de Miramar in a few.
Here now are some pictures taken at
Jardin de Miramar and Casa Santa
There is a bronze sculpture of children playing that will greet in Casa Santa.
