The mason Francisco González Gragera created this house starting in 1988 for his little daughter, who dreamed of a country house that was different from everything normal, like in a fairy tale, like a princess castle.

El Capricho de Cotrina is often confused with the work of Gaudí, the Catalan architect. However, this building was built by a local mason and marble worker named Francisco González Gragera. This peculiar family home that took 30 years to build can now be visited and admired.
