Can’t believe I forgot my charger, my BB doesn’t do these justice.

On the last evening, we had an hour before the sun went down so we walked up the main boulevard near the hotel. We happened on a few Gaudi buildings. The last time I was here, my family joined and we saw a lot of Gaudi, but we missed these. The Casa Batllo:

Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə bəʎˈʎo, bədˈʎo]), is a building restored by Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol, built in the year 1877 and remodelled in the years 1904–1906; located at 43, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade or avenue), part of the Illa de la Discòrdia in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Spain.

The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), and indeed it does have a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.

A few low quality pictures.

You just don’t see these types of buildings anywhere else in the world.

And of course, the huge bank building.

An amazing city, where the architecture is beautiful and the Espresso just tastes better for some reason … One day I will get back there and do the Picasso museum again. When we did it 2 years ago, the boys could only handle 2 hours of Pablo .. and he deserves at least 4.
