Guell Park (Parc Guell) Barcelona

-Casa Batlo, private house. Water-inspired and incredible. The solid forms look like liquid. The attic is awesome: catenary arches, a water-room, light well into very tall space that lights the stairwell. Colours change with movement throughout the building because of play on light.
-Casa Mila. Apartment building, with original furniture. Roof …

On our last day in Barcelona we visited Parc Guell, the most amazing, magical and inspired place I've ever been to! First of all, the view of the city from up there is breathtaking. Secondly, everything in Parc Guell is art, the steps, the halls, the buildings etc. We visited the famous dragon fountain, the great place, the colonnade and wondered …

We all really wanted a nice easygoing spring break to relax, so we booked the first flight to Barcelona, Spain and the flight home departing from Porto, Portugal. Any adventure or concern in between was made on the fly.

We flew in from Bologna, Italy on Friday afternoon. The annoying part of our travels was flying with RyanAir which only …

Up and boy's and I looked at Sunday food markets and purchased some goodies.

Today we had a busy day. As we had visitor we were keen to see as much as possible. Us girls started out with catching the train to Sagrada Familia. On the way to the train station in La Rambla Street we saw some people dressed up as characters. Not sure who or why, however a photo opportunity. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was amazed of …
