As the legend goes, in the early 1920s, Enrique Carbonell entered the swanky portside Hotel de Palas, feeling ill. Seeking medical attention and a place to stay, the hotel saw his shoddy, poor appearance and turned him away, not knowing that he was in fact a very wealthy textile magnate. In an act of revenge, he built an even larger and more lavish building right next door to the hotel, naming it Casa Carbonell.
