Park Güell

Park Guell is a famous park and tourist destination in Barcelona that was designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi and built from 1900-1914. Features of the park include a multicolored mosaic Dragon (picture included in this post), la Torre Rosa (Gaudi House), and a long serpentine bench at the top. From the top of the park there is a beautiful view of the city as seen in one of my included pictures. I had previously visited this magnificant park with my parents in high school when I toured Barcelona and coming back was still extremely enjoyable. People from all ov er the world come to see Gaudi's special park, which is unlike any park I have ever seen. While not that big, it offers plenty of site, with weird and trippy little aspects everywhere. Gaudi's gingerbread house inspired buildings at the entrance of the park are really cool as well. There were some gypsy's that we saw at the park when we were there and I guess they go there during the day to enjoy the beautiful scenery. My friends and I went for a long walk around the park until the sun set, and it got a little scary so we left. I hope to visit the park at least one more time before my abroad experience is over and it is one of my favorite sites to visit in Barcelona.
