Going beyond just Gaudi’s well known structures in Barcelona, I had lots of fun taking photos of all kinds of little (and big) architectural details and styles.
Purely Gaudi
There is SO much Gaudi influence in Barcelona that it can be overwhelming! This trip, we did not go to Parc Guell, although it is AMAZING, we have been the last two times in Barcelona. If it were our first trip, we would not have skipped it. A caveat about many of the Gaudi properties is that, although they are open to tour, they are not inexpen$ive. This trip, we visited a number of places “street-side” (a.k.a. we did not pay the fees to go inside). Had Madame made it for this trip, we’d have been in all of these places, however we are waiting until we can share them with her.
Beyond all the things that you read about, the general architecture is a mix of modern, classical, and art deco. There were so many balconies, entry ways, and facades that were AMAZING that I got lost in the beauty and only photographed a tiny portion of what I saw.
General (amazing) architecture
So much to see, not enough time – ever. I think I could live in Barcelona and never get tired of it. We only scratched the surface (again) and are already looking forward to the next time.
