We had not heard of el capricho de Gaudí before coming to Cantabria, and we organised the visit at the last minute. But it was very worthwhile, both for the building itself and for the informative, discerning and witty explanation offered us by our guide, Andrea. Well worth the entrance fee. An enchanted place.

This building doesn't leave you cold. Even if you may not like the building aesthetically, you can only be impressed with the vision of the architect and the skills of the workers. Artisans of the day. And at the same time, one has to applaud the courage of the owner, to give this project to the young Gaudi.

What a gorgeous building with so many quirky and ingenious bits to look at. We had a tour in English with Lucia, who was brilliant, and kept us engaged throughout. There’s such an interesting story to the house and she told it really well. Definitely pay a visit if you have time.

We were lucky to have an excellent guide in English. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This is a fascinating place and well worth seeing. We could only see 2 English tours so make sure you get there early to book one of them This is a popular place to visit. The tour guide made it even better.
