Parc Güell, Barcelona















Back in January, Alessio and I went to Barcelona for a long weekend and on the Sunday we visited Parc Güell. Parc Güell was designed by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Guadi and built from 1900 to 1914. He was commissioned to design the park by his friend and patron Eusebi Güell.

The place was really busy and would have been better if we had bought tickets beforehand and also it is a timed entry so if you miss you don`t get in anymore!

The park, buildings and statues are all very amazing to see and there are fantastic views of Barcelona from the main terrace. There are quite a few different ways to enter and we probably took the steep one!

In 1984, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site, under "Works of Antoni Guadi", Barcelona is full of his work and they include the Sagrada Familia, Casa Vicens, Casa Batlllo, Casa Milà, Casa Calvet and Palau Güell.

I would really love to visit Casa Batllo and hopefully will do if I go again next year!

Hope you are all having a great long weekend!
