Park Guell / Parque
Güell
north Barcelona
1900-14
Antoni Gaudí, Architect

A great place to relax, enjoy the coutryside and gain great views out
over Barcelona. The best Gaudi architecture is at the lower, south end
of Park Guell, primarily close to the southern entry. However we suggest
if going by Metro getting off at Vallcarca and using escalators to almost
reach the top of the Park. This way you can enjoy Park Guell walking down
through it and getting more and more Gaudiesque. A fantastic pink house,
the home of Antoni Gaudi for around 20 years is in the middle of the lower
section.
