Parc Guell (Cultural)


Parc Guell is one of my favorite places to go in Barcelona. It is a gigantic park located in the Gracia district. The first time I visited was when my friend Alex came out to see me during his fall break. It has many statues and buildings that are completely out of the ordinary. It almost looks like a park in some sort of cartoon. You can get a great view of the coast from the balcony in the park. It also has gardens and trails that can keep you occupied for hours.










The park was designed by the most famous architect in Barcelona, Anotoni Gaudi. He has also done famous works in Barcelona such as Casa Battlo and Casa Mila. He also helped with Sagrada Familia. Parc Guell was built between 1900 and 1914. Here you can find a wide range of people. There are plenty of tourists taking pictures of the vast gardens, but you can also find lots of local people. People bring their dates to the park to talk or have a picnic while others bring scarves and fans to sell to people. There are also a lot of entertainers throughout the park. People will play music or sing and dance for the people inside the park.
