CORTES, Macarena. Un nuevo espacio de veraneo: El Cap Ducal en la génesis de la modernidad. ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2003, n.55, pp.53-55. ISSN 0717-6996. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-69962003005500014.
Chilean society in the first half of the 20th century split over the changes: one part was horrified by the new liberal attitudes, the other rushed to adopt them. Viña del Mar was a veritable urban laboratory. The building of the first summer residences, the casino, the hotel, and the Cap Ducal restaurant signaled the shifts in direction that transformed the city into Chiles main resort of the 20th century.
