Esta semana queremos presentarte lo que podría ser nuestro edificio favorito de Gaudí en Barcelona: la Casa Batlló.
Our third day was focused on places designed by Antoni Gaudí.
We began the day visiting Casa Batlló. Moving through the space felt genuinely magical. They do a good job keeping visitors low enough in number so that it doesn’t feel crowded to ascend through the building and explore all the stunning rooms and fascinating details. I don’t think there’s a place I’ve been that felt more like I was transported into a fantasy novel. The building is so awe-inspiring that I immediately understood why Gaudí is revered.
As we traveled to our next destination, I started to spot more political images. I was heartened to see murals, stickers, and signs from the anarchists and other leftists of the city, particularly memorializing leaders of the resistance to Franco and his fascist government. I wasn’t familiar with Lucio Urtubia before, but was compelled to read about his work to fund resistance movements.
We soon arrived at Park Güell. There were some stunning buildings and other Gaudí-designed works in the park, but there was definitely a feeling of dry emptiness in much of it. The aqueduct and other structures were impressive and we were happy to experience them.
We next stopped at Basílica de la Sagrada Família, the most famous of Gaudí’s works. The detail across its exterior was stunning and awe-inspiring. We didn’t enter the church but what we would see from the street was overwhelming.
We visited Mercat de la Boqueria briefly, and the kids were delighted to get candy.
We walked down La Rambla and reached the fantastic Plaça de Catalunya. The statues there were impressive and La Deessa was particularly beautiful.

Hoy he visitado la #casabatllo en #Barcelona y tengo: Opiniones.
Primero: La entrada de normal es más cara de lo que realmente merece. Hemos acabado pagando 9 euros la entrada lo cual es un precio aceptable pero creo que si no son como 18 si eres residente y usas un 2x1 o 36 eurípides.
La casa muy bonita pero la museografía es... muy partícular. Está enfocada como un parque de atracciones.

Designed by #AntoniGaudi between 1904 and 1906 it’s a perfect blend of #ArtNoveau #Modernism and #Surrealism
