Parc Guell

Another one of Gaudi’s creations, Parc Guell was originally meant to be a residential area but only two houses were built and no one wanted to buy them. Luckily for us it was transformed into beautiful gardens open to the public. The whole park oozes Gaudi, from the colourful mosaics to the smooth curves of the architecture. It is on the side of a very large hill so there are lots of steps and hills to walk up, which adds to its beauty, and has amazing views of Barcelona.
Below is the sea serpent bench. It is covered in mosaic and its very long. The bench is situated on the main terrace and is great for taking photos from.
