Parc Güell
Outside the centre of Barcelona you find the beautiful Parc Guell. Guadi wanted to design a municipal parc that looked like one of the English parcs and so compensate the industrialisation in Barcelona a bit. Gaudí made it a splendid parc with lots of colours, round shapes, mosaic and lovely little houses which make you believe in fairy tales. Take bus nr. 24 or the metro. When you want to skip walking up the hill I'd suggest you take the bus. bart: If you wnat to see something incredable? GO THERE Angele:
