Barcelona, a little late Part II

There is very interesting architecture all throughout the city by the famous architect Antonio Gaudi. He had a very interesting style (you'll see in the photos that I'll upload later). He designed one park, Parc Guell, which is hard to believe, was constructed between 1900 and 1914 considering how whimsical its design is. There are areas made to look like rock formations that feel as if they were pulled straight from Disneyworld. Parc Guell is built on a hill side and had beautiful views of the nearby city. You can see Sagrada Familia, a cathedral which is one of his most famous works on which construction started in 1884 and is still going on. Another fantastic park was Parc Laberint, which is on a hill a bit outside of the city, but worth the subway ride. It was extremely tranquil and I would have never guessed that I was in a major city until I got a glimpse through the trees of the city and the sea far below. In the center of the park is a large labyrinth, something I’ve always wanted to do but never had a chance to. It was a lot of fun. We also tried some hot chocolate and churros, which Barcelona is famous for. However, Spanish hot chocolate is known for having spices in it, so it wasn’t quite what we were expecting. There was also Font Montjuic, a massive fountain that is light up and grows and swells according to the music being played. We were only able to see a few minutes of the show, but it was excellent. It seemed like something that belonged in Disneyworld.
