Barcelona - "Casa Batllo", Gaudi.

I had a chance to see this Gaudi house by myself. It was amazing... he has made Barcelona such a magical place for architecture.







Barcelona 30th July - 6th August

We arrived after spending twelve hours in the car, our GPS suddenly died just as we were entering the area where we were staying. Luckily I was able to direct us to the right street and building. I really loved Barcelona, it has an element/atmosphere like Sydney. The architecture is amazing and it's like Paris, in every street there is a photo ready to be taken. Most people spoke english and where very friendly. The city was filled with tourists. It was hot and we enjoyed walking around filling our eyes with all the aspects of a city. The kids had fun at the beach with Yves, the zoo with me and seeing the Gaudi wonders. Yves and I were able to visit a few museums. We took over 350 photos.
