Gaudi's whim
It is a building very rich in decorative details that includes various local and foreign influences, such as neo-Mudejar elements. It is profusely decorated, highlighting the ceramic bands with sunflower flowers. It has balconies and iron railings, alternating in the walls the ashlar rigging in the lower part and the bricks in the upper part, all of great originality. It is conceived as an oriental palace, although with an organic approach, the building is articulated under the idea that it is something alive in which each of its parts must be oriented towards a specific place, depending on its use. This building was aesthetically designed to be mimicked by the surrounding vegetation, which is appreciable by the choice of green as the predominant colors among the rich ornamentation of the building. Each facade is different from the others, contributing to give a formal heterogeneity that surprises and, at times, dislocates the observer. In short, the particular idiosyncrasy of this monument makes it an authentic architectural and ornamental whim.

Municipality of Llanes

An authentic spectacle of nature difficult to admire in another environment.
