    Park Guell

    Got a taxi to Park Guell, it’s at the top of a very long hill & after several messages from our tour guide about going to the wrong meeting place we took the safe option!
    Another Gaudi design, originally envisioned as a luxury residential estate for families, with homes built for Gaudi & his patron Eusobi Guell, the concierge & gardener, only one plot actually sold out of a total of 60 available. Eventually Guell had to sell the park, but only the council were interested in buying it. The whole park bar one house is now council owned. Locals can use it for free.
    A beautiful unique place, we loved it.    Leia mais
