    Park Guell: The Viaducts

    March 23 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    After exiting the Sagrada Família, I ate a delicious paella before walking two kilometers uphill to Park Guell, another of Gaudi’s masterpieces. As I approached the park entrance, I thanked my lucky stars I managed to book tickets when I saw other people being turned away.

    Park Guell turned out to be a labyrinthian mess of walkways, most of them on raised viaducts, as well as a central viewing platform. The focus of this entry is on the viaducts.

    There were several serpentine viaducts at Park Guell. They were all in raised stone walkways supported by stone pillars. Walking under the viaducts was a little unnerving as the columns and the underside were irregularly shaped with large sharp stones simp,y stuck in. They reminded me of stalactites and I kept thinking they could lodge loose and fall on me. Regardless, I had an enjoyable time walking the serpentine viaducts to get to different parts of the park.
