"Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Família church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí dot the cityscape."
"Barcelona is a vibrant city known for its art and architecture. The city is famous for Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces like the Sagrada Família and Park Güell. It offers a mix of modern and historical attractions, beaches, and a lively cultural scene."
"In Barcelona, I lucked out with guide Evgueni Agaltsev Kosmata, whose passion for Antoni Gaudí was palpable. Whisking our small group through the Gothic Quarter’s narrow streets, away from the crowds, we reached Palau Güell for a private, after-hours tour. Kosmata proceeded to show us this architectural wonder, a mansion designed by a young Gaudí who masterfully melded Gothic, art nouveau, and Islamic elements, in mind-blowing detail." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Built between 1886 and 1890, Palau Güell is rumored to be the first Art Nouveau building in the world. This home of the Güell family is tucked down Calle Nou de la Rambla, and the mood inside is much darker than later Gaudís. Picture swaths of dark wood with grey marble floors and pillars and a fabulous old organ that’s often played for concerts. Don’t miss the roof terrace, where 20 chimneys and 50-foot spire are a Technicolor explosion." - Gemma Askham
