With warm, crystal-clear waters lapping its sandy shores and mountains nuzzling up to its northern edge, this glittering jewel in the Mediterranean is blessed with desirable geographical genes. From the buoyant, revamped port area to the atmospheric medieval streets of the Barri Gòtic and the beautiful Modernista buildings of the Eixample, Barcelona has it all. A host of treasure-filled museums, architectural wonders, lively beaches and enchanting squares provide the icing on the cake.

Casa Batlló (Batlló House)

It is one of the masterpieces by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí, inscribed in UNESCO World Heritage list.

A key work of Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau), where you can visit different rooms, mainly those in the first floor, and also the courtyard, the stairs and the magnificent attic and rooftop. It is an artistic expression of life, where Gaudí managed to create a light and clear atmosphere, as if you were swimming into deep blue waters, under the daylight sun, using an impressive combination of glass, wood, stone, ceramics and iron.

The colourful Casa Batlló is the result of a total refurbishment of an old and conventional house built in 1877. Gaudí was commissioned by the owner, the textile industrialist Josep Batlló i Casanovas, to totally renew the old building. On that base, he projected this astonishing house, one of the most fancy and "special" of Barcelona. His work was done between 1904 and 1906.

Along with two Modernist works, the Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch (1900) and the Casa Lleó Morera by Domènech i Montaner (1905), the Casa Batlló makes up the "Manzana de la Discordia" (Block of Discord).
Climbing to the top of Sagrada Família

Gaudí's breathtaking church, still under construction. He put his life and soul into it, spending all his money on it, then begging strangers for more! It is different from every angle and most spectacular from the top; an amazing climb, but not for those wary of heights!
