Barcelona, along the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Eixample, one of 10 districts of Barcelona, directly borders the old town (Ciutat Vella). Characteristics are long straight streets, square blocks and chamfered corners. We start our walk at the former bullring. La Monumental was designed by Manuel Joaquim Raspall i Mayol and opened in 1914. Already 1916 the building was extended by Ignasi Mas i Morell and Domènec i Gras Sugrañes in the style of Mudejar architecture. Bullfights were held here until 2011. After a referendum the bull fight was banned by the Catalan Parliament. Today, it is a location for music and circus events.
The Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes was planned and created in the context of urban expansion during the late 19th century. Today it is one of the most important transport axes of Barcelona. In this video we see the section from the Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes to the Rambla de Catalunya.
While shophisticated hotels and shops line the street at the surface, metro and urban trains operate below ground.
We turn into the Passeig de Gràcia, the splendour boulevard of Barcelona. Here you find several buildings of the Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau) from Antoni Gaudi and Joseph Puig i Cadafalch.
Casa Mila and Casa Batllo, both built by Antoni Gaudí, belong to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Also noteworthy are the beautiful benches with candelabra, designed by the Catalan architect Pere Falqués i Urpí.

A Day in Barcelona [German] [HD]
Hier sehr ihr unseren ersten Tag in Barcelona sowas kommt vielleicht nochmal wenn es euch gefällt BY M@
Montagne de Montjuïc, Barcelone, Espagne - Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain
On y monte en funiculaire, ensuite en téléphérique. On se retrouve au Chateau de Montjuïc tout en haut. On découvre des jardins hallucinants, une multitude de fontaines et de jeux d'eau... Malade !
La montagne de Montjuïc (quelquefois écrit Montjuich, selon l'orthographe catalane antérieure à la normative de Pompeu Fabra) est un promontoire situé au sud-ouest de la ville de Barcelone qui surplombe le port et la vieille ville. Le nom signifie Colline des Juifs en catalan médiéval ; il s'agit peut-être d'une corruption du latin Mons Jovicus (Colline de Jupiter).
De nombreux édifices y furent construits pour les Jeux olympiques de 1992, notamment le Stade olympique Lluís-Companys.
Montjuïc abrite le jardin botanique de Barcelone, le musée de l'olympisme et de sports et la fondation Miró.
La montagne date du Paléogène et son altitude au sommet est de 184,8 mètres.
Montjuïc is translated as 'Jew Hill' in medieval Catalan, or is perhaps related to the Latin phrase Mons Jovicus ('hill of Jove'). The name is found in several locations in the Catalan Countries: the Catalan cities of Girona and Barcelona both have a Montjuïc, as does the island of Minorca. When written in a Spanish rather than Catalan context it is generally spelled Montjuich (this is old Catalan spelling before the orthographic reforms of Pompeu Fabra).

Places to see in ( Barcelona - Spain ) L'Eixample District
Places to see in ( Barcelona - Spain ) L'Eixample District
The Eixample is a district of Barcelona between the old city and what were once surrounding small towns, constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its population was 262,000 at the last census.
The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named illes in Catalan, manzanas in Spanish). This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-stay parking space. The grid pattern remains as a hallmark of Barcelona, but many of his other provisions were ignored: the four sides of the blocks and the inner space were built instead of the planned two or three sides around a garden; the streets were narrower; only one of the two diagonal avenues was carried out; the inhabitants were of a higher class than the mixed composition dreamed of by Cerdà.
Some parts of the Eixample were influenced by Modernista architects, chief among whom was Antoni Gaudí. His work in the Eixample includes the Casa Milà (nicknamed La Pedrera) and the Casa Batlló, both of which are on the wide Passeig de Gràcia, as well as the Sagrada Família. Other architects who made highly significant, and certainly more numerous, contributions to giving the Eixample its characteristic appearance include Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Domènech i Estapà, Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas and perhaps above all Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia, responsible for a total of over 500 buildings in the city (not all of them in the Eixample).
The Casa Terrades, better known as Casa de les Punxes, is replete with Mediaeval allusions that stands at the junction of Av. Diagonal with Carrer Rosselló. It was built in 1903–1905 by the Modernista architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, who used Nordic Gothic and Spanish Plateresque resources side by side, along with traditional Catalan motifs.
The Casa Batlló is part of a block called the Illa de la Discòrdia, along with two other notable Modernista works, Lluís Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó Morera and Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller. The block is so named due to the visual clash between the buildings; its Spanish name, Manzana de la Discordia, is also a pun on Eris's Apple of Discord - manzana means both apple and city block.
There are six administrative neighborhoods:
L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample
La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample
Dreta de l'Eixample
Fort Pienc
Sagrada Família
Sant Antoni

Sagrada: The Mystery of Creation Official Trailer (2014) - Spanish Cathedral Documentary HD
One of the most iconic structures ever built, Barcelona's La Sagrada Familia is a unique and fascinating architectural project conceived by Antoni Gaudi in the late 19th century. More than 125 years after construction began, the basilica still remains unfinished. Sagrada: The Mystery of Creation celebrates Gaudi's vision and the continuing work of architects as they strive to complete the colossal project while delving into the process of artistic creation in a historical context.
La Sagrada Familia was commissioned by the Order of St Joseph in 1882. After conflicts arose between the Order and the original architect, 31 year old Antoni Gaudí was hired to complete the design. A devout Catholic and architectural prodigy, Gaudí envisioned a place of worship that combined elements of classic French Gothic style and the curvilinear, organic aspects of the budding Art Nouveau school.
Despite decades of delays, thousands of artisans, laborers, and designers have contributed to the ambitious and glorious landmark. Inspired by Gaudí's vision, the film explores our fundamentally human search for the meaning of existence, and the quest for creative expression.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Catalonian metropolis, the documentary investigates the structural developments of the Sagrada Família while allowing the audience time to observe, perceive, and reflect upon the historical, artistic and personal significance of the basilica.

Just another Sunday in Barcelona…
So after a day of sightseeing in Barcelona on Sunday April 24th, we're walking Carrer d'En Tantarantana in our neighborhood searching for a place to eat when, well, this broke out - the troubadours couldn't have chosen a better tune. Which is what we loved about where we stayed in Barcelona - in the middle of this large international metropolitan city, there are neighborhoods like this everywhere…more to come from the trip.
