What's included

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.

He conocido algunas etapas desde la restauración del Capricho y en ésta con el audioguía, se analizan las dependencias, su servicio , y se engloba en una única vista el arte de Gaudi. No queda ya restos de lo que fue el restaurante y las zonas verdes están cuidadas.
