Barthelona Day 4

Absolute massive day today. If you are not into pictures, you are not gonna like this one.So, got up. Went to a pandaria on the way to the tube to head out to Park Guell. I had been told that it was Gaudi’s house. Ok, sounds good enough. I had no idea it was a World Heritage site. Even better. From Leseeps tube station you have to climb up the hill. I found this escalator that runs from the bottom once I got up to the top. Fitting.So I came around the back, again fitting, and got up on this high point overlooking the city. From Wikipedia-Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the district of Barcelona, Catalonia. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site ”Works of Antoni Gaudí”. Something nice about this park and it’s proximity to the city. Kind of like Golden Gate Park in SF.This is the roof of the hypostyle hall near the entrance of the park.Soak it up. Move on. Slowly cruised down the hill and headed over to Plaza D’Espanya. The idea was to go see the Olympic village. When I got out of the underground it took a sec to figure out which way was what.That’s when I saw this massive building off in the distance. Had no idea what it was, but I had to check it out. The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. I decided to go check it out. I spent 4 hours looking at Baroque, Gothic paintings and sculpture that was from the region over the last several hundred years. The gate from Gaui’s Park Guell was in here. He also did all kinds of furniture pieces. No Photos though. My legs are fried and it’s time to go give them a rest.Jump ahead several hours and time to go check out the Barrio Gothic at midnight. Lots of cool alleys and street art laid out in a veritable labyrinth. That’s it. I am worked.
