Park Güell

Park Güell is a super popular garden/park in Barcelona. It's located in the Gràcia district and is easily accessible via bus, metro, foot, blah blah blah... If you need to know more, feel free to check out the official website, or Wikipedia it (like me!) for more information!

But seriously, Park Güell is just one of the many crazy architectural concepts that Antonio Gaudi littered Barcelona with, so if you ever sea  something that reminds you of the Little Mermaid, you should probably take a picture of it, because it is going to turn out to be a famous building.

Park Güell ended up being our first stop in Barcelona and I'm so glad it was. I loved the vibrancy of the park, and the sunshine and the blue skies made it all veryy picturesque for us. It was a great opening act from Gaudi and it certainly got me excited to see more of his work around the city.

As you probably can sea, Gaudi found much of his inspiration from nature, which is why so many of his buildings look coral or seashells... or sand... (that comes later!) I really enjoyed his work because it is like nothing I have ever seen before... And isn't that the whole point of this traveling to different countries thing??
