Day 3 Barcelona: Poble Espanyol

We took the Metro up the hill to see the Pablo Español. This area was created for the Barcelona Univeral Exhibition in 1929. In 1927, a group of architects and artists drove around Spain and took pictures and made sketches of the architecture of all of the areas of Spain: North, South, Central, and Mediterranean. They represent all styles from Romanesque to Baroque.

They then built an area that represents all these regions and styles. Truly an amazing accomplishment. Included on the grounds are various artists that represent the best of Spain. These include Lladro, Majorca pearls, leather, pottery, mosaics, and other art forms. Really worth the visit!

After a few hours rest, we went to the local pedestrian area and had paella for dinner. A great end to a wonderful day!En savoir plus
