Punch card Barcelona is listed as a World Heritage Site for Gaudi's works!

🌟 Casa Mira

A torrential rain at more than 9 o 'clock in the morning in Barcelona made us miss the opportunity of the first day, and we came to the Casa Mira again before leaving.
The sky was gray, telling the roof to close for rainy days, a bit depressing, but just as we were about to reach the attic, the sky began to be cloudy and slightly bright, and the roof reopened. The unexpected is never expected.

The essence of Casa Mira is the three-piece Gaudi suite in the attic, and the Gaudi family, from the architectural structure, to the source of inspiration everywhere in nature, everything is alive, including the brick and tile of the building, there are emotions flowing.

The roof is so unforgettable that one will fall in love at a glance, each one as if standing under the sky, chasing and playing with the clouds and every beam of light, looking at you or me warmly or silently, the wind is conveying your heart and my heart. I also got my second best photo of the time. In fact, life in a different Angle, you can get a different kind of scenery and color.


🌟 Guire Park

The Park Guell was designed by Antoni Gaudi and built between 1900 and 1914. It was originally planned as a high-end residential area by the wealthy businessman Eusebe Guire, but due to the remoteness of the site, only the public facilities were completed, including the gatehouse, the central park, the elevated corridor, etc. These buildings and designs later became part of the park and were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

Gaudi's naturalistic ideas are on full display in Guire Park, which has many famous landscapes such as the three-dimensional corridor system, the hundred-column hall, and the wavy benches decorated with colorful tiles. These designs are not only beautiful, but also practical, such as the design of the bench with ergonomics in mind, so that people can feel comfortable even when sitting on the stone chair.

The two iconic fountains in the park, the chameleon and the giant Lizard, serve not only as decorations but also as important drainage functions. In addition, the park also has the Gaudi House Museum, which was once Gaudi's residence and now displays his work and life, but there is a separate admission fee, 14 euros for adults, 11 euros for children aged 7-12, and free admission for children under 6.


🌟 The Vinson House

It was a private residence until 2014, when it was acquired, underwent a series of renovations, and then opened to the public as a museum in November 2017.
Originally the summer home of the Vincennes family, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, and the entire building is imbued with a resort atmosphere. You can feel the rich Oriental customs, India, Persia, Japan... These Oriental tastes gave Gaudi a lot of artistic inspiration, is a new Moorish architecture.

There is a lot less traffic than Casa Mira and Batllo, and there are balconies on the first and second floors where you can sit and rest and feel the vacation that the Vincennes family once enjoyed.



🌟 The Guire Palace

Guire Palace is a neo-modernist mansion designed by Gaudi for the Catalan industrial tycoon Guire. I do not know whether it is because the window of the room was not open on the day of the visit, the interior tone of the whole building was a little depressed, and I did not find the familiar feeling until I went to the top of the building.
