Park Guell
No, this is not a gingerbread house!
It is one of 2 buildings at the entrance to Parque Guell, one of Barcelona’s 8 World Heritage Sites.
Designed and built from 1900 to 1914 by the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi (of Sagrada Familia fame), and named after Gaudi’s friend, benefactor and sponsor Count Eusebi Guell, it was originally meant as a commercial housing estate… Would love to live in that kind of estate, Gaudi or Hundertwasser, doesn‘t matter!
To know more about it, please check here.
Nowadays, you can find the park‘s Gaudi souvenir shop in here, prosaically.
Anyway, enjoy the view. And be aware that it is a hard climb, should you want to go there! And bring your own drinks, as the 2 or 3 bars in here will ruin you!
