La Pedrara

 

The Story

In February of 2000 we went to Barcelona. One of our most treasured memories is visiting Gaudi's wave-inspired apartment block, nicknames "La Pedrara" ("The Rock Quarry").

This shot looks up inside one Gaudi built a huge penthouse apartment on the top floor, which has been preserved as museum. Here is a detail of a fantastic coffee set, seemingly inspired by Gaudi
Looking out over a major road, with a detail of the "wave" balcony Josie checks out the beautiful art-decco interior It's the roof of La Pedrara that really makes you realise that Gaudi was a genious - and completely, utterly, barking mad. The famous vents, nicknamed "espantabruixhas", or "witch-scarers".
