Parc Guell
Antoni Gaudi's second greatest project after the Sagrada Familia is the Park
Guell in Barcelona. According to the Rough Guide to Barcelona:
Laid out on a hill, which provides fabulous views back across the city,
the park is an almost hallucinatory expression of the imagination. Pavilions of
contorted stone, giant decorative lizards, meandering rustic viaducts, a vast Hall of
Columns ... carved stone trees - all combine in one manic swirl of ideas and excesses,
reminiscent of an amusement park.
The estate was designed for Eusebi Guell for whom Gaudi also worked on the Palau
Guell off Las Ramblas.

The Rough Guide to Barcelona
by Jules Brown
Barcelona has boomed since the early 1990s, when preparations for the Olympic Games
wrenched it into modernity, and today it remains well in the vanguard of other Spanish
cities (with the possible exception of Madrid) in terms of prosperity, stability and
cultural activity. It's a confident, progressive city, looking towards the rest of Europe
for its inspiration and its innovations - the classic tourist images of Spain seem firmly
out of place in Barcelona's bustling central boulevards and stylish modern streets.
