Join us on a guided exploration of the Capricho de Gaudí, where we will uncover the unique features of this villa along with fascinating insights into its design and historical significance.

Tour Overview

We will convene at the designated hour at the ticket office for the Capricho de Gaudí, also known as Villa Quijano, to commence our guided visit to this iconic villa in Comillas.

Prior to entering the villa, we will take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of its façade. The excellent craftsmanship is a testament to how Gaudí’s style harmoniously integrates Oriental, Gothic, Islamic, Nasrid, and Mudejar influences. The stunning tower, reaching a height of 20 meters, is sure to captivate your attention.

As we walk through the well-tended gardens surrounding the Capricho de Gaudí, we will step inside the villa to marvel at its remarkable interior design. You will be delighted by the intricately carved wooden furniture, vibrant stained glass, musical-themed railings, and intricate ceramics that adorn every corner of this exquisite residence.

Throughout our visit to Capricho de Gaudí, we will delve into the villa's history, which received the designation of "Asset of Cultural Interest" (Bien de Interés Cultural) in 1969. Did you know that this is one of the rare structures designed by Gaudí located outside Catalonia? Moreover, it narrowly escaped ruin after the Spanish Civil War.

After a 45-minute thorough exploration, we will conclude our tour at the entrance of the Capricho de Gaudí.
