One of Antoni Gaudi's most amazing projects in Barcelona. Originally concieved to be similar to an English Garden City by Eusebi Guell, the project never came to fruition and was handed over to the city in 1922.
This photogenic delight displays magical creations of lizards, sea sepents, collums, collonades, waves and palm shaped pillars all covered with ceramic tiled mosiacs.
The park is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Construction on the Cathederal was started in 1882 and it seems as though it will not be finished for many more years to come.
Progress has been slow due to the project being funded by private donations and the interruption of the Civil War.
Antoni Gaudi took over the project in 1883 and worked on the building until his death in 1926.
The building has been overseen by many architects since, but it is Gaudi's unusual vision for the building which shines through.

Bigger than the La Boqueria his market seems very authentic due to the lack of tourists. It seels the same produce as La Boqueria but with perhaps a little more choice.
There are three huge stores dominating the Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona.
The store on the corner of the square holds the supermarket and luxury food products in the basement.
Please note that the main shopping and commercial malls are at Glories and Diagonal Mar.
