Tips from the Community
If you deviate slightly from the N630, near Santos de Maimona, next to the EX-101 road, a construction different from the rest emerges from the fields. It is the work of Don Francisco González Gragera, a retired bricklayer who more than 30 years ago began what today would be the fulfillment of a dream that he outlined years ago on paper. Cotrina's Whim.

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.
