Barcelona One

 

The Story

In February of 2000 we went to Barcelona, city in the sun, a beautiful jewel on the Mediterranean, and home to some fantastic architecture. We had our usual "fly in Friday night, fly back Sunday night", which is one of the key benefits to living in London. Because Gaudi is such a genius, we have created two galleries devoted to his work:

La Pedrera - "The Rock Quarry", his very famous apartment block; 

Sagrada Familia - Gaudi's famous cathedral in Barcelona - check it out!

Josie in the window of an old Roman Palace Cameron looks a little dark - Barcelona in the background Looking from the Roman Palace onto the roof of Barcelona Cathedral In the main square outside Barcelona Cathedral, someone had set up a bunch of these handmade kids games. The looks of concentration of the faces of these girls captivated me.
In the "Golden Block", several modernist architects had an influence. Here, of course, is Gaudi A detail of Gaudi's balconies, looking like skulls Another Gaudi building Detail of the window and balcony of another Gaudi
Hidden by trees, yet another Gaudi! The view from our hotel, close to Las Ramblas This was probably the fire escape - damned if I could find the rope & rapelling harness, though... Looking out over Barcelona harbour
