No plans yet? Visit Ranchito Cascabel: The magical place near San Miguel de Allende that you must visit during the next long weekend.

Ranchito Cascabel is a magical house that will make you feel like in a fairy tale, located just 20 minutes away from San Miguel de Allende, in the state of Guanajuato.

But what makes Ranchito Cascabel so special? This house, also known as Timmyland, is a surrealist place that has been inspired by the architecture of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.

He is considered one of the greatest architects of Catalan modernism and his work reflects a style inspired by nature, and even some of his works contain religious symbolism.

On this occasion, Ranchito Cascabel is inspired by his works, so both architect Steve Kornher and designer Bob Hoss have created this magical and surreal place with the style known as Flying Concrete.
