Marianna and I decided to be official tourists and signed up with a group to tour the Park Guell. Park Guell in Barcelona was initially envisioned as a luxurious housing estate, inspired by the English garden city movement, but ultimately became a public park. It was designed in 1900 by Antoni Gaudi and planned to accommodate 60 wealthy families. After housing project failed, the park was offered to the city and opened to the public in 1926.

Park Guell is a park located on a hill in the Garcia district of Barcelona.

The park offers breathtaking views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea from it’s elevated vantage point!

The Park follows an architectural style inspired by nature and colorful mosaics and is Antoni Gaudi’s greatest creation.

We were so thrilled to have had the opportunity to take in the beauty of this iconic park.

It was now time to leave this grandiose park and walk down the big hill. Walking up to the park was definitely an endurance challenge and coming down was a truly a pleasure.

This isn’t just food, it’s our daily dose of happiness.

Before going back to our hotel, we went by the Sagrada Familia. It is truly an exceptional temple, which is also the work of the genius architect Antoni Gaudi.

Experiencing Gaudi’s masterpieces left us awestruck and amazed. Learning about the history and significance of these sites gave us a deeper connection to Barcelona and Gaudi’s legacy.
