Here we find new commerce and shopping malls (L'illa).
In this area is where Barcelonans shop. Don't forget the credit
cards, because Barcelona shopping is by far some of the best in Spain.
The Barcelona is a multicultural metropolis. With influences from
throughout Europe there is plenty of designer clothing, artisan
workshops, and extensive galleries that reflect wonderful Barcelona.
Walking the bustling main avenues, cobblestone streets, and winding
alleyways of Barcelona’s shopping districts will guarantee a wonderful
exploit. |

PARK GUELL. One of Barcelona’s
large urban parks. Originally intended to be an English style garden
city. The familiar Gaudi curves, and mosaic work are in full evidence
all over the park, from the benches to the porticos. This is not only a
beautiful park, but also a good place to view Barcelona from up high
looking toward the sea. |

| CASA BELLESGUARD. This private
house has very beautiful gothic castle-like appearance. The last king of
the Catalan dynasty, Martin the Humane, had a castle here in 1410 which
was used as a summer residence and this served as an inspiration to
Gaudi. In this building, built between 1900 and 1909, Gaudi experimented
with innovative ways of creating roofs and terraces without the use of
beams, by using very low overhanging brick arches.
The pointed tower, iron gate, and
battlements on the roof make Bellesguard look like something
from the medieval times. The current owners
allow visitors to take photographs in the garden. |

THE GUELL PAVILLIONS & FENCE.
This work dating to 1884-87 is considered to be the first synthesis of
technological innovation and decorative workmanship. The garden
represents the Hesperides gardens and is guarded by a spectacular iron
dragon iron fence which evokes the adventures of Hercules in the Garden
of Hesperides. There are many stupendous architectural details such as
the stone orange trees, the complex brickwork, and ceramic incrustations
which is characteristic of Gaudi. |
