At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Capricho de Gaudí, also known as Villa Quijano, to begin our guided tour of this villa in Comillas.

Before entering the building, we'll admire its decorative facade, noting the blend of oriental, Gothic, Islamic, Nasrid, and Mudejar elements. The tower stands at 20 meters high.

We'll stroll through the gardens and enter the villa to see its interior decoration, which features carved wooden furniture, colorful stained glass windows, musical motif railings, and ceramics.

Throughout the tour, we'll discuss the villa's history as an "Asset of Cultural Interest" (Bien de Interés Cultural) since 1969, highlighting that it is one of the few Gaudí designs outside Catalonia and that it nearly fell into ruins after the Spanish Civil War.

After 45 minutes of touring, we will conclude our visit outside the Capricho de Gaudí.
