Barcelona - Placa de Gaudi
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain by Antoni Gaudí
The number one attraction of Barcelona is undoubtedly Sagrada Familia. This unfinished church is a whimsical, steel-beamed mountain growing out of the landscape, a creature of the imaginative mind of Antoni Gaudí who died while it was still under construction, run down by a tram in a tragic accident. Barcelonans have been working on the church for a century, and in the past decade have made remarkable progress -- in the movie we flash back ten years to show how the interior was filled then with metal scaffolding which is all gone now. The interior of Sagrada Familia seems finished, a modern version of the Gothic ideal. There are still various political arguments about how to get the work done and how to pay for it, but Sagrada Familia is fully open to the public. There are usually long lines waiting to get in, so make your reservations on their web site before going.
When there you can purchase the added option and ride an elevator most of the way up one of the towers and walk a bit further to the top. From here you gain quite a view of the construction site as well as vistas across the city -- a panorama of the skyline of Barcelona and some details of the towers of Sagrada Familia itself. However, there is not much of a skyline vista to see in this part of town, except for the general layout and one outstanding building, an odd round tower looking like a big, glass pickle, like the Gherkin in London.
Scale-model exhibits on the ground floor help you envision what the final product will look like. You can also watch the workers as they create sculptures, carve decorative architectural details and do the heavy construction on this busy site, with hard-hat laborers bustling around the site. It's really a busy, productive area.
BARCELONA WALK | Sagrada Família - Gaudí's World-Famous Gothic Church | Spain
A first-person perspective Barcelona walk tour of the surrounding area of the Sagrada Família gothic church.
See all the sights as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of Barcelona, featuring Sagrada Família, the unfinished gothic church designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. The route begins in the Plaça de la Sagrada Família Park, then to the Passion façade to the West of Sagrada Família, next moving around the south of the church to the Nativity façade to the East, finally to the Plaça de Gaudí Park where the tour concludes.
Sights seen along the tour include the Sagrada Família, Plaça de la Sagrada Família Park, souvenir store, refreshment kiosks, and Plaça de Gaudí Park with its trees and large pond.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!

Placa Reial, Barcelona
This is actually my favorite square in Barcelona. This square is located near La Rambla which is also another popular tourist attraction famous for its restaurants and shops.

Petanque in Barcelona (Plaça de Gaudí)
Barcelona part 6 Parc Guell
Begin your pursuit of architectural masterpieces created by Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), Barcelona's most famous architect. A good strategy is to start at Parc Guell, a whimsical whirl of colored ceramics, sculptures, sinuous benches, weird buildings, bizarre pavilions and curved paths winding through a lush garden setting, with a view across the city from its hill-top perch.
The park's structures are curved in a mélange of fairy-tale shapes covered with mosaics of broken tiles in a style called trencadis. Most of these tiles are brightly colored creating dazzling surfaces on the benches and columns, while other tiles are earth-brown fragments covering various pavilions and structures that look like they have grown out of the ground. Craftsmen worked under Gaudi's direction to create these amazing mosaics by smashing porcelain plates and pottery into little pieces then arranging them like a jigsaw puzzle. Some sculptures are similarly covered, especially the salamander fountain on the divided staircase that leads up to the 86-column Hypostile Hall. There is usually a small crowd waiting in turn to be photographed next to the bizarre salamander.
Gaudi was the city's most famous architect, best known for his still-unfinished Sagrada Familia church which is also worth seeing but is not as pleasing as this park. He lived from 1852 to 1926 and designed Parc Guell at the beginning of the 20th century as part of a large housing project that never got built. Instead we are left with this much more interesting and valuable 37-acre park that is one of the city's most popular attractions. Its main section consists of a broad terrace rimmed with benches and steps leading down to the front gate, which is flanked by two small Hansel and Gretel-inspired huts topped with ice cream sundae-shaped roofs. These small areas get very crowded, making it difficult to properly appreciate this premium destination, so your best strategy is to arrive when the park opens at 10:00 a.m. in order to see the colorful sights without a thousand other tourists getting in your way.
Parc Guell is too far from the center to comfortably reach by walking but you can get there in 30 minutes by public transportation, preferably bus number 24 heading in the Carmel direction, which conveniently drops you off right next to the upper level of the park. You can catch the bus from major downtown locales including Placa Catalunia and along the Passeig de Gracia. Alternatively, the metro could bring you to the general vicinity, but requires much more walking than the bus. If you prefer rail, take the metro Green Line L3 and get off at the Lesseps or Vallcarca stations and tackle a 20-minute walk, with the last portion leading up a steep hill and then into the park along a pleasant winding path through the woods. Some of that uphill climb is alleviated by outdoor escalators running alongside the road, but overall you'll find it easier to take the bus. The same bus route will take you back to downtown after the visit.
Gaudi lived on the property in one of the two houses that were actually constructed here. His home has been converted into a small museum of his memorabilia, for the die-hard fans. However there is not all that much in the way of attractions inside the house. They display some of the odd-shaped furniture designed by Gaudi, and visitors can enter his study, bedroom, living room and other parts of the house. There is an admission charge and the visit will take time, so you might find it unnecessary to enter this little museum, but you can certainly admire the outside of the house and garden for free, and it is conveniently located near the exit for the bus stop.
It only takes 30 minutes to see the park from top to bottom, but you might linger in the gift shop and get something to eat at one of two snack bars. The food and seating is a bit better at the lower café near the front gates, but the sandwich counter up above on the main terrace has a pleasant outdoor ambience, with a strangely entertaining way of ordering food in which you tell the clerk your sandwich choice and he barks back five minutes without taking your name or giving you a number, but all works out well in the end. This is not great food, but it's a simple, inexpensive sandwich on a long, hard roll, and if you are hungry it is conveniently located in this beautiful setting which could hit the spot.

Park Güell - Barcellona - UNESCO World Heritage Site
See the best accommodations
The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, after whom the park was named. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park (in the Catalan language spoken in Catalonia where Barcelona is located, the word for Park is Parc, and the name of the place is Parc Güell in its original language). The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Muntanya Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House, and was next to a neighborhood of upper class houses called La Salut (The Health). The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906.[1] This house, where Gaudí lived from 1906 to 1926, was built by Francesc Berenguer in 1904. It contains original works by Gaudí and several of his collaborators. It is now the Gaudi House Museum (Casa Museu Gaudí) since 1963. In 1969 it was declared a historical artistic monument of national interest.

Aquí podemos ver un interesante tour donde se muestran las obras más importantes de este genial autor en la capital catalana.
La arquitectura de Gaudí está marcada por un fuerte sello personal, caracterizado por la búsqueda de nuevas soluciones estructurales, que logró después de toda una vida dedicada al análisis de la estructura óptima del edificio, integrado en su entorno y siendo una síntesis de todas las artes y oficios. Mediante el estudio y la práctica de nuevas y originales soluciones, la obra de Gaudí culminará en un estilo orgánico, inspirado en la naturaleza, pero sin perder la experiencia aportada por estilos anteriores, generando una obra arquitectónica que es una simbiosis perfecta de la tradición y la innovación. Asimismo, toda su obra está marcada por las que fueron sus cuatro grandes pasiones en la vida: la arquitectura, la naturaleza, la religión y el amor a Cataluña.
