Thanks for the information! I love Barcelona and am looking forward to going back. I especially love Antonio Gaudi’s work, which can be found all over Barcelona; every single one is a masterpiece. The Temple de la Sagrada Familia is so intricate; it is the most beautiful and artistic temple I have ever seen. As someone has said, they found his work somewhat gaudy, but that’s what I love about his work!

What a really great travel blog. I love this post about Gaudi’s Barcelona. Having just returned from a trip to Barcelona, I thought we’d ‘done’ most of Gaudi’s gorgeous designs. But having looked at this site, I’m going to have to return – particularly to see the street lamps off La Rambla. They look magnificent. And thanks for all the great information.

The Shadow of the Wind is one of my all time favourites. When I was in Barcelona I kept wondering if Fermin could really exist! I’d love to have coffee with him at Placa Reial!

I loved Barcelona and will return there someday.

Great post! It can´t be emphasized enough how important Gaudí is to Barcelona. He really led an interesting life, from being one of the most sought after architects to dying alone in a paupers´ hospital.

We were in Barcelona for a few days this summer. Even our four year old, who doesn’t appreciate architecture too much yet, had a jaw dropping moment when he saw the facade of the Sagrada Familia. We also enjoyed wandering around Park Guell. We’ll post about our trip to northern Spain on our own blog, and some of the amazing digs we found for travelers on a budget. -Michael

Great list Matt! Visiting Gaudi’s work in Barcelona was definitely one of the highlights of my visit in that city. I can still remember distinctly heading to visit the Sagrada Familia and literally having my breath taken away as it came into view. The church is an incredible work of art and an amazing feat of architecture. I think it will be a pretty amazing sight when it is finally finished.

Great set of pictures.

I actually like Gaudi. All of his work is unmistakeably original. They are almost fairy tale structures. I really hope to get out to Barcelona next year.
