Almost a tourist
Almost a tourist
February 5th, 2006. Posted 14:22

Slowly I am starting to see more and more of Barcelona. I never been much of a tourist, but I am learning to be one! Making more pictures then I normally would do, and started visiting museums and exposures. And I am liking it.

More Montjuïc: Lovely place. At night as well. Every Friday and Saturday evening there is a fountain show with classical music and colourful waterfalls and fountains. And the inside of the Palau Nacional, the Museu Nacional D’art De Catalunya, is very beautiful.

La Pedrera: One of the houses build by Gaudi. I didn’t know much about Gaudi before coming to Barcelona. Of course I had heard of the mans name, but that was about it. Turns out he was truely a briljant architect!

Love the photos!

When did you visit La Pedrera? When we walked past it, all you said was (if I remember correctly and that´s always dubious!) “There´s another Gaudi building.” But I guess that was a couple of weeks ago now!

¡Hola guapa!

I went there the Saturday you left. With the French guy, Florent, from my class. And you are right, I wasn’t to impressed at first… I don’t know what I was thinking! ;-)

Florent told me it was a “must” see. And indeed. Seeing the inside of the building and all the things Gaudi has designed and his way of working… Just impressive.

But I still think the other house, Casa Batlló (down the street from La Pedrera), looks like something from a Disney cartoon! ;-)
