The experience

The tour begins at El Capricho de Gaudí, one of Gaudí's earliest and most imaginative houses, with its distinctive sunflower-covered exterior. From there, the self-guided walk leads through Comillas' historic center, past the Chapel Mausoleum of the Marquises and the Palace of Sobrellano, then uphill to the former Pontifical University complex and the seminary church. You move at your own pace through roughly two hours of walking and stops, pausing the audio guide whenever you need to linger or explore on your own.

The route reveals the layers beneath Comillas' grand monuments: early Modernisme design, noble patronage, religious ambition, and the everyday life of a working fishing town. Wide sea views open up as you climb, and the contrast between the ornate palaces and the humble harbor atmosphere is part of what the guide explains. You'll need to bring your own earphones to hear the audio commentary.

What is El Capricho de Gaudí and why does it matter in Comillas?

El Capricho de Gaudí is one of Antoni Gaudí's earliest and most imaginative houses, built in the nineteenth century when Comillas was undergoing a dramatic transformation from a fishing village into a center of noble and religious patronage. The house sits at the start of the walking route and its distinctive sunflower-covered design sets the tone for the Neo-Gothic and Modernisme architecture you encounter throughout the town.

The tour is designed for roughly two hours, but you control the pace entirely. You pause and unpause the audio guide whenever you want to stop longer at a site, explore on your own, or rest.
