Park Guëll
2022年5月7日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
After Sagrada Familia (see another post), probably the best known place in Barcelona is Park Guëll. This site was actually begun as a housing development intended to be a gated community of 56 houses. Count Eusebi Guëll engaged Antoni Gaudí to design the site and houses. Work began in 1900 with most site design elements completed. However, the housing development failed. Only 1 house was sold. It was probably too far out from the city as it existed then.
It became the public Park Guëll in 1926 when Count Guëll's son gave it to the city with the stipulation the his home (in the 1st picture) become a public school. It still is.
The rest of the pictures are of Gaudi's genius. The site has a road through it to provide access to the 56 sites intended for houses. A small section of the road is in the 2nd picture. Because the site is an eroded hillside, Gaudí built bridges over the gullies to make the road easy to use. The 3rd picture is a look at what is under those bridges. Gaudí provided protected spaces for people to gather out of the sun or in inclement weather.
The 4th picture is the "theater." It is a multipurpose space for outdoor performances, family gathering, picnicking, etc. The edges have serpentine seating to make it easier for people to sit in groups and converse. What isn't obvious (and most surprising) is that the sand here is what engineers call a slow sand filter. Rain water percolated through multiple layers of sand to be purified. It then flows down through the columns in the next picture to a large cistern below. This is the central water supply and irrigation system for the site and is still in use today.
The 5th picture is under the theater. These are the hollow columns of the water supply system. The space was intended to be the local market. The domes direct the water above to the hollow columns, and the mosaics are all made with discarded and broken materials--a very early example of recycling. Gaudí was ahead of his time in so many ways.
The 6th picture looks out to the city from the theater. The building with the tower was the model house.
From the market below the theater, a monumental stairway proceeds down to the main gate and model house. Halfway down those stairs is the sculpture in the 7th picture. This depicts alchemy and a dragon which is a fountain.
The 8th picture looks up the monumental stairway from the bottom. Like everything else Gaudí, there is a lot of symbolism here, even Masonic. But with all the people, it's hard to see. Your browser will guide you to better views and interpretations.
The last picture is the former Porter's horse at the main gate near the model house.
This is rightly a famous place.もっと詳しく

Park Güell
2022年5月16日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Si trova su una collina a cui si accede in parte camminando su ripide salite e in parte con scale mobili. L'ingresso principale non è segnalato bene, noi siamo capitati all'ingresso sul retro che è anche il punto più alto del parco. La parte alta è un vero e proprio parco che si apre su una terrazza con le famose panchine da cui si gode una fantastica vista sulla città. Scendendo c'è il colonnato che sostiene la terrazza e la scalinata con la salamandra. Nel recinto del parco si trova la Casa Museo Gaudí, dove visse l’architetto ma che non è compreso nel biglietto, mentre all'ingresso principale ci sono due case, una è utilizzata come negozio, mentre l’altra, la Casa del Guarda, accoglie esposizioni audiovisive sulla storia del parco.もっと詳しく

My birthday!
2022年6月3日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today we woke up and walked around to a food market that was pretty cool! And then we stopped at a place for paella which was amazing and sat next to the owner ha. We then got a taxi to Park Guell which is a famous park for ceramic tiles. Then we went back to the hostel to relax for a bit before going out to a fusion place for dinner! Then we walked to a nearby square where we got a few desserts to share. Great day :)もっと詳しく

Parc Güell
2022年6月14日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Parc Güell was absolutely one of the coolest and most unique things I’ve seen on this trip. I’ve never been somewhere like it - a sort of half park, half museum overlooking the city. It apparently was some urban development project led by the architect Antoni Gaudí, who is super famous in Barcelona, that ended up turning into a museum. It is full of really interesting sculptures, structures, and houses built in his style. It feels like being in a Dr. Seuss book. It was also full of trees and birds and had incredible views of the city. It was really special in a lot of different ways. Super unique place!もっと詳しく

A Walk in Gaudi’s Park Güell
1月9日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C
We heard about a fairytale park with beautiful views of the city and with a World’s Heritage Site designation (1984). Being that Park Güell is another of Gaudi’s creations, we thought that a visit to that park would be a nice way to spend our last day in Barcelona.

Once again, it was recommended that we prebook online seniors’ tickets to avoid lineups into Park Güell. That’s what we did but as today was the first day of school after Xmas holidays, the lineups weren’t bad. Up until lately, people could enter the park for free but now there is a fee to enter.

The park is not that far away from where we are (5km) but up a steep hill. We used our metro pass to catch a bus (# 50) to Catalunya Square and then caught bus #24 to the park’s side entrance.

We easily wandered for a couple of hours through Park Güell’s 17 hectares. It is one of the largest green spaces in Barcelona with large gardens and interesting architectural features. Something novel around every corner. We had fun trying to spot the green Monk Parrots and their nests in the palm trees,

There are two sections - one is mainly green spaces and the other is the Monumental Zone which is where we ended up. We started in the green area and enjoyed listening to the echoes of buskers singing great old songs, like my dad’s favourite, The Autumn Leaves and our favourites like Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and the Beatle’s Blackbird song.

Park Guell is the size of 13 city blocks and has a viewing terrace with a magnificent panoramic view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. The balustrade with seats were built to fit your body. Apparently Gaudi had one of his workers drop his pants and make an impression of his rear end in order to create an ergonomic seat. They are comfy!

Once again, lots to see - columns, colourful ceramics, a mosaic dragon, a market place and three crosses at the highest point.

Park Guell was conceived in 1900 by the wealthy industrialist Eusebi Güell. His intention was to create a lavish, Utopian housing development in the middle of a park using the world’s most cutting-edge Barcelona architecture.

Gaudi was asked to design 60 luxury homes for a planned community far away from Barcelona’s smoky factories – all with the latest technology and a touch of art. In the end, the houses didn’t sell and Park Güell construction was halted in 1914. Only two homes and the park were finished! Guell donated the park to the city in 1922.

It was a cool but sunny day so we decided to leisurely walk back through the city, all downhill, to our hotel. All in all, we walked 10.5 km.

Tomorrow, we are going to Monserrat, an old Benedictine monastery, in the mountains. A little planning is needed tonight.もっと詳しく

Parc Güell
1月17日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Es war immer noch bewölkt, als wir aus der "Casa Battló" kamen und sah auch nach Regen aus. Da wir keine geplanten "innen Aktivitäten" mehr übrig hatten und die Vorhersage für später besser aussah, sind wir trotzdem zum "Parc Güell" gelaufen. Unterwegs hat es auch wirklich noch geregnet, aber das haben wir zufällig perfekt mit dem Essen abgestimmt.

Der gut 17 Hektar große Park wurde zwischen 1900 und 1914 von (natürlich) Gaudí erschaffen.
Eigentlich sollte es eine Gartenstadt mit 60 Villen werden, die zur Finanzierung im Vorfeld verkauft werden sollten. Es wurden nur 2 Parzellen gekauft, darum wurde der Park nicht fertiggestellt werden.
Gaudí versuchte möglichst kostengünstig zu bauen, seine Materialien (viele Steine) lagen ja sowieso auf dem Grundstück rum. Für die Mosaike benutzte er Abfälle aus den Keramik Fabriken in der Nähe.
Da alles in Handarbeit gebaut wurde, war es natürlich trotzdem teuer.もっと詳しく

An meinem zweiten Tag in Barcelona war ich im wunderschönen Park Güell, welcher von Antoni Gaudí auf mehr als 17 Hektar Land gestaltet wurde. Die Bauten dort fügen sich wunderbar in die Landschaft ein und es gibt viele einzigartige Mosaikarbeiten zu sehen, doch überzeugt euch selbst 🌳🎨 Seit 1984 ist der Park Güell UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.もっと詳しく

We weren't expecting the huge trek to get up to Park Güell but the views and beautiful mosaics were worth it.

If I ever go back I'd try to go first thing to avoid the school group crowds. We also liked that we somehow entered the park at the top most entrance so it was a gradual decline down to the main area.

We only saw a fraction of the park and skipped the museum and house tours.もっと詳しく

Entrance fee 10€ per person. We took a taxi (about 8€) which brought us near the entrance of the park because the slope percentage was so high in the streets leading to the park. We thought we would not survive the effort of reaching the park by foot.

Barcelona Tag 1
2023年3月15日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Moin Leute,

heute Vormittag ging es mit dem Bus nach Barcelona.

Die Hinfahrt dauerte ca 45 Minuten. Wir sind bis zur Endstation gefahren, dass war schon mitten in der Stadt.

Uns wurde zuvor schon ans Herz gelegt, wir sollten die Attraktionen die wir besichtigen wollen schon in Vorraus festlegen und die dann auch gezielt ansteuern. Sonst steht man wie der Ochse vorm Scheunentor und weiß nicht wo man hin soll.

So haben wir es auch gemacht. Das Ziel für heute war der von Antoni Gaudí gestalteter Park "Güell"

Bis dorthin mussten wir noch ein Stück mit der Metro fahren. Wir haben uns dann für 18,50 Euro noch ein Touristen Ticket gekauft. Dieses Ticket ist gültig für 48 Stunden und man kann alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel benutzen. Bis zum Güellpark sind wir noch 10 Minuten mit der Metro gefahren.
Der Eintritt für den Park betrug 10 Euro pro Person ohne Audioguide. Wir verbrachten dort gute 2,5 Stunden.

Dann wir 2,5 Kilometer zu Fuß zur Sagrada Familia (Basilika) gelaufen. Sie ist das Hauptwerk Gaudis.
(Von innen werde ich sie morgen besichtigen) 😊👍
Zum Schluss sind wir wieder mit der Metro zur Markthalle gefahren. Sind dort etwas rumgeschlendert.

Hat dann auch gereicht für heute. Kurz vor 18 Uhr waren wir wieder im Bus zurück zum Campingplatz. Die Fahrt zurück hat aufgrund des Verkehrs 1 Stunde gedauert.

Für heute reichts. Morgen geht's nochmal hin 🙂もっと詳しく
