    Casa Vicens. Gaudi

    July 3, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Farewell Spain. My final adventure was to Casa Vicens, Gaudi’s first commission to build a private residence. The design is interesting, no hallways, and every endeavour to make the house design sustainable. He tried to bring the living world inside, especially with ‘wallpaper and ceilings). The carvings and ceramics are superb, but just too much! He pioneered ceramic exteriors and mosaics. The chimneys ( little rocket like structures) are a Gaudi speciality, However I find the rooms small and feel like you are in Disneyland.
    But when in Spain you’ve got to love what the Spanish love, football, cafe life, and Gaudi❤️🇪🇸👍
