The first stop was at Casa Batllo. This building was remodeled by Gaudi in 1906 and is considered his ultimate masterpiece.
Here we are on the terrace...
The second stop was at La Pedrera (the Quarry) named for its rippling grey stone facade.
Daddy was much more impressed with Gaudi's work than either Mommy or Oden...

Barcelona is a place which earns you from the first moment, after leaving from there you wish to visit it again someday. It can offer anything a visitor wants to see or do, a modern city which still keeps memories from the past.We booked a room in one of the Barcelona hotels right in the center of the Old Town - wanting to be close to everything. Barcelona is also called An. Gaudi's city, one of the greatest architects. There are many signs of his presence. Generally, if you are interested in arts, this is YOUR city. Art seems to be an important part of Catalan way of living; it can be seen not only in museums. Miro, Tapies, Picasso, Dali are just a few artists who have left their sign in Barcelona.
