Park Guell
Antoni
Gaudi is a very famous Spanish artist. His work is almost
chaotic. No rules -- ornate
-- chaotic -- beautiful. At
Park Guell in
Barcelona, his
work literally sticks out of the wilderness to create an incredible
landscape. Part of it kind of looks like the Smurf Village. To get
up to the top of Park Guell, you have to climb like 1000 stairs to
the top. Then walk down into the artwork. Or, I suppose you could
just start on the bottom. But, in 100 degree heat, wouldn't you
rather just take the hike? If you are ever in Barcelona, see this
park first. Let's just say it's very different. The Gaudi Museum is
in the park. It's basically just his house ... you get to see his
cabinets and toilet for 4 euros.
