Parc Güell Upper

Whew - it's a hot day at Parc Güell! I loved getting to share two of my favorite places in the world with Mom & Dad today.

Sean got me a book about Gaudi as an early Mother's Day present!

Parc Güell, designed by Antoni Gaudí, is a vibrant public park in Barcelona that showcases whimsical architecture and colorful mosaics. Originally intended as a residential estate, it was converted into a public space when the project failed commercially. The park features organic curves, avoiding straight lines, and is famous for its serpentine bench and dragon fountain, both adorned with Gaudí's signature trencadís mosaics. Set on Carmel Hill, Parc Güell offers stunning views of the city and remains a testament to Gaudí's creative vision, blending art, architecture, and nature into a delightful urban escape.Leggi altro
