We are staying in the former late 19th/early 20th century "bourgeois" neighborhood of the city - ripe with architectural competion of "modernisme", competing with the "belle epoch" period in Paris. This is a beautiful city, 3rd largest in Spain and center of the province of Catalunya, with its own language which confuses the Spanish speaking folks like my buddy, Marge! Today, after a walking tour of the neighborhood, we took the double decker hop on/hop off tourist bus for Parc Guell, Gaudi's fantastical landmark overlooking the city.
Today's pix: stain glass windows of Sagrada Familia; Gaudi's "House of bones"; Parc Guell.
Vaya con Dios!
I love the buildings! Very beautiful. And the colors are vibrant!
