Truly I think that description belongs to La Sagrada Familia, but Gaudi’s genius is displayed all over Barcelona. Parc Guell is one of my favourites. Well worth Six Words! Wishing you a happy Saturday!
The skill and expertise is awesome, but I think I first tap into the joy of Gaudi’s creativity to “think it up” in the first place! It’s rather amazing, isn’t it?
Incredible, Debbie! Did you see the video I shared, with Mari, in the comments? A bit of a spoiler really, I suppose. I’ll probably use it in my last Gaudi post π π
Settled down, thankfully. Himself was ok today so I breezed off out for a bit. We have a curfew from 1pm at weekends so this afternoon was peaceful. π π
I think we did, Aiva, although we were there at opening time to avoid the crowds. I think we carried on up the hill to the fairground later in the day. Amazing what you can fit into a few days π π
It was about 6 years ago that we were there, Marion. Love at first sight π π Just had mince and Yorkshire puds so I won’t be jumping up and down for a bit.
Amazing. There were some benches in Naperville that used mosaic and a number of walls and things in Philadelphia that also do. Maybe they were inspired by Gaudi.
Thank you for taking me back to this fascinating city. Wishing the two of you all the best in this new year.
