Santillana del Mar is a medieval town centered on the 12th-century Collegiate Church of Santa Juliana; El Capricho was designed by Antoni Gaudí in the 1880s for patron Máximo Díaz de Quijano, reflecting Cantabria’s late-19th-century coastal prosperity.
The sequoias are non-native but protected as a local monument; visitors are asked to stay on paths to limit root compaction and to follow signage at heritage sites to reduce wear.
