A huge wave set in stone. That is how I would describe this building. Casa Mila is the perfect example of how Antoni Gaudi was inspired by nature. The rough outer appearance resembles a stone quary.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore sounds like you had an awesome day :) My grandpa was super concerned that you are in Barcelona, I am glad the protests looked not chaotic!
Viaggiatore Tell Grandpa we are fine. The protests are scheduled for Sundays as I said, and the city has stipulated what groups can protest on what Sunday. So, there is less of a chance that things will get out of control. There were police and swat everywhere, even helicopters monitoring the crowd from above. Plus I have my own personal line backer attacked to my hip, so if he said let's go I'd be tossed over a shoulder and hauled to safety, gotta luv him
