Blocked Arteries And Travel

A city, Barcelona.



The last trip I made I made one of my favorite cities and, from my point of view, are most charming: Barcelona.

Barcelona is a unique city that combines everything that catches my attention in one place. Here you can find culture, sports, entertainment, people of all kinds ... a walk in Barcelona is like walking several cities at once and go with each of its charming corners (which are many).

This trip I made with my girlfriend last December to try to bridge evade some of the routine and the responsibilities of work and home, and the truth is that we could not choose best destination for a break. Although only 3 days we were in Barcelona and a half, we took advantage of the maximum.

One of the things I liked about Barcelona was the Batlló House , house designed by Gaudí and is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen.

The house was renovated by Antonio Gaudí between 1904 and 1906, as the building dates from 1875, on behalf of the Batlló family.

But in terms of Gaudí's impossible not to appoint another magnificent works which he found in this magical city. This is one of the nicest parks I've had the pleasure of seeing ever: Güell Park.

Güell Park is a large garden with SE Ents architectural located on the top of the city of Barcelona and is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic fulfillment. Symbol of the city, is full of charming places where you can get lost. It also has one of the best views of the city of Barcelona and can see from there the Mediterranean Sea.

Of course, we can not forget the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's work can not see over, but that was conscious and I would die before to see it finished, I leave all the information required to be completed in line to the frame and the aesthetic and ethical principles that drive it.

The cathedral, one of the most impressive I've seen so far, is fraught with religious symbolism related to nature, recurring source of inspiration in the work of Gaudí. Sagrada Familia


To all this we must add the richness of cultures that make up the streets and hundreds of charming places that we can find, such as the Rambla , the Boqueria market or Ciutadella Park, among others. This makes the city a rich mosaic highly recommended to visit.
