Admission to Gaudí's El Capricho
  • Discover one of the earliest works of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, and one of the only buildings he designed outside of Catalonia
  • Admire the beautiful sunflower mosaics adorning the facade and the lime-green Persian air minaret, which also acts as a perfect sundial – of course, it does!
  • Explore the luxurious interior of this opulent summer house which was built for a wealthy client, who sadly died before the house was even finished!

Cantabria is overflowing with ancient cultural heritage – but hidden amongst the UNESCO-listed caves, lush nature, and historic treasures that make this region famous, is a little gem of Modernist history that's just as deserving of a visit.

It takes just one look at the flamboyant architecture of El Capricho to know who designed it. One of the first-completed projects by God's own architect, this stunning summer home is unmistakably Gaudí – but with some Orientalist and Mudéjar influences!

With a Persian windcatcher minaret emblazoned with dazzling sunflower mosaics – a theme throughout the building – and a dazzling green and gold color scheme, El Capricho captures the history and pastoral essence of Cantabria and gives it that unique fairy-tale charm that makes Gaudí's masterpieces around Barcelona and Catalonia so iconic.

This is an essential slice of culture for anyone with an eye for quirky architecture.
