Because we couldn't miss out on Barcelona, we headed south again and back into Spain. Barcelona is a city devoted to its arts, especially Gaudi. You see his art EVERYWHERE around town, but in my tiny little bit of research about Spain I had decided that I wanted to see Park Guell. Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to design a housing community for the affluent and began building it in 1900. It was a fascinating concept and way ahead of his time, but Gaudi's habits of bringing the natural world and a whimsical spirit into his art is evident everywhere you look.
It was definitely a highlight to wander around the park and enjoy the afternoon sunshine (along with the rest of Barcelona).
On the way out of the park, we tripped across a lovely church and admired the art and the peace there. I couldn't even decipher anything to tell us where we were, but just enjoyed the moments of tranquility.
