I was really shocked by the fantastic architecture in Barcelona!

Barcelona Spain·Barcelona Barcelona is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. It is the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia in Spain and the "second largest city" in Spain. Known as the "Pearl of the Iberian Peninsula" Not only does it have breathtaking buildings, but it also has a vibrant cultural life and pleasant coastal scenery, making it a destination for many tourists. Passeig de Gràcia - the intersection of art and fashion. This is the main shopping street in Barcelona. Strolling on this wide avenue, you can enjoy exquisite street art performances. Casa Batlló is like a creature made of bones and scales. It is a rare artistic treasure in this city. There are also fantastic architectural lines such as the Sagrada Familia and Casa Milà, which make me unable to get out.

#100WaysOfTravel If you buy a Barcelona modern art card, you can exchange it directly for a ticket. It belongs to the blue ticket. Remember to get a free tour. Compared with La Pedrera, I prefer this one. The elements of nature are well integrated in it, as if walking on the bottom of the sea, and time is staggered. And the gold ticket will have a tablet that can restore the layout at that time in 3d. I always secretly look at other people's screens.

The chilly air outside only heightened the warmth of the experience within those architecturally enchanting walls. Gazing at the intricacies of Gaudí's design while surrounded by the cozy, festive atmosphere of Barcelona in winter created a truly magical blend. From the captivating play of light on the mosaic tiles to the timeless elegance of each room, my visit to Casa Batlló was a winter journey filled with awe and appreciation for the artistry that defines this iconic landmark. Next year, I would love to visit budapest. #2024wish #spain #Barcelona #gaudi #historicallandmarks #barcelonatrip #casabatllo #wintertrip

beautiful house

#celebratewithtrip Casa Batlló is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that reflects Gaudí’s unmatched style and aesthetic. It was far less crowded than La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell and I was able view the rooms and architecture as long as I wanted without being overcrowded with tourists for the most part. The front of the building is very colorful and you instantly know that it’s a work of art by Antoni Gaudi. The locals refer to the building as Casa dels ossos meaning House of Bones, as it has a skeletal and organic quality to it. If you’re looking to visit some Gaudi sites in Barcelona, I highly recommend exploring Casa Batllo.

Antoni Gaudi Masterpiece

Antoni Gaudí was Barcelona's most famous architect, and he created three houses, one of which is Casa Batlló in 1877. Casa Batlló is considered one of Antoni Gaudi's masterpieces. It was remodeled of a previously built house, redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí, and refurbished several times. Located in the prime center of Barcelona, in the heart shopping district neighboring Dior, LV, Gucci, Rolex, and many more. The building had a basement, ground floor and four other floors with a garden in the back on the second floor. Dont miss the light show in the nighttime; it will transform the building into magical looks. Casa Batllo is open to the public for visits with a ticket fee, and you can purchase the ticket at the counter or buy it online.

Adress: Pg. de Gràcia, 43, 08007 Barcelona. #spain #barcelona #barcelonatravel #casabatllo

Many people only know that Casa Batllo is Gaudi's famous work, but I didn’t know that this apartment is a building that Gaudi and Jorge Maria Jojore have renovated. The front design of the Casa Batllo is inspired by the story of St. George and the Dragon. On the roof of the apartment, the glazed corrugated tile, such as the back of the dragon, makes the cross on the dragon's ridge particularly dazzling. The appearance of the apartment facing the street is based on the bones of the victims. This fairy tale is a bit scary and weird. The main hall on the first floor is the most essential part of the whole house, and it is also the place where Casa Batllo lived. It is hard to imagine how avant-garde the Casa Batllo was a hundred years ago and he lived in such a strange house.

Exploring Gaudí's Three Gems! Each one is breathtakingly beautiful.

This time in Barcelona, I visited Gaudí's three masterpieces, and they were absolutely stunning! First, I have to mention Casa Vicens. Its rooftop is incredibly dreamy, like a candy house from a fairy tale. Every corner is so beautiful that you can't stop taking photos. My favorite is the winding chimney, which is just overflowing with girlish charm! 💕 Casa Milà is truly amazing. The exterior undulates like ocean waves, and the entire building has no straight lines! The rooftop garden is filled with all sorts of quirky chimneys, and it's absolutely gorgeous at sunset. The interior furniture design is also very interesting, with surprises at every turn. The mosaic tiles of Casa Batlló are simply stunning! They sparkle in the sunlight, and the colors are incredibly dreamy. I recommend going early in the morning when there are fewer tourists, so you can take photos without anyone in the background. The dragon-shaped rooftop is also very cool, and everything you photograph looks amazing! ✨ In short, Gaudí's architecture is the epitome of romance, and you must visit at least once in your life! Remember to book your tickets online in advance!

A Lazy Person's Guide to Barcelona Travel

A Lazy Person's Guide to 🇪🇸Barcelona Travel|| I procrastinated for a long time before starting to write this guide because Spain is just too much fun. It is currently my favorite European country for both fun and food, and I feel it will be hard to surpass in the future! This time, due to limited time, I only visited Barcelona. A week is definitely not enough, and I could eat five meals a day. 🚕Transportation The bus and metro lines are very convenient. You can buy a public transport ticket directly at the airport, which is more cost-effective. 🏨Hotels I've heard that the local security is not very good. It is recommended to stay in the wealthy northwest area for safety or avoid the Gothic Quarter, which is near the Boqueria Market. Be sure to book in advance during peak season, or you'll regret it. 🏰Must-Visit Attractions Barcelona will punish anyone who doesn't plan ahead or book in advance. I learned this the hard way. Trying to book tickets for Gaudi's three masterpieces four days in advance was a dream... ⛲️Gaudi's Three Masterpieces: Casa Milà (quite average), Casa Batlló, and Sagrada Família are really worth visiting. 🎠Park Güell, unique design. 🏥Hospital de Sant Pau, pink hospital. 💋Gothic Quarter, famous kissing wall. 🏖️Barcelona Beach, with the W Hotel building. It looks bad in bad weather. 🎵Palau de la Música Catalana, watch a flamenco show, gypsy dancer💃. ⛰️Tibidabo Mountain, overlooking the city, the best viewing platform. 🦞Food Spain is truly the best in Europe for food! The local Chinese food and bars are also amazing! Tried over 30 restaurants in 6 days, must-eat list🥇just copy it! 1️⃣Xurreria, the best local churros with hot chocolate sauce. 2️⃣La Flauta, affordable foie gras steak burger, squid and shrimp skewers, honey-roasted cod that will make you cry. 3️⃣Buy Spanish ham directly from Carrefour, 5 euros per bag is already very good, 5j or Joselito are delicious. 4️⃣Boqueria Market, a collection of various Spanish snacks, fruits, and vegetables, colorful and great for photos, but overpriced. 5️⃣Pastisseria Hofmann, Michelin dessert, pistachio cake is the most famous. 6️⃣The Sopa Boba, an amazing little tavern. 7️⃣Can Framis, black truffle cream risotto is amazing, and the famous local Sangria fruit wine. 8️⃣SAO, a Michelin restaurant with an average cost of less than 30 euros. 9️⃣Bars on the global list: Sips, Paradiso, the bar themed after the Orient Express murder mystery is highly recommended.

Recommended Attractions in Spain

【Barcelona】 First, if you don't want to walk too much, I recommend taking the Barcelona city tour bus. I think it covers the routes and classic attractions very well! Here are the recommended spots: Gaudi's Four Works: Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Park Güell. The first three can be reached on foot as they are quite close, and Park Güell is also conveniently accessible by the city tour bus. Remember to buy tickets in advance. I suggest renting an audio guide; these buildings are really special, and the guide will help you understand them better. Highly recommend the Sagrada Familia, which is still under construction. There are many churches in Europe, but the uniqueness of the Sagrada Familia is worth seeing at least once in your lifetime. If you have time in the evening, I recommend going to the Liceu Opera House to watch a Flamenco show at Palacio del Flamenco. 【Madrid】 Many football fans are familiar with this city. Football fans must visit the Real Madrid stadium. I bought a pair of shorts there and wore them, haha. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. If you want to try various Spanish snacks, you can go to Mercado de San Miguel. If you have time and interest, you can watch a bullfight. There are scheduled shows, so if you want to watch one, make sure to plan your itinerary around the showtimes and buy tickets as early as possible. Las Ventas Bullring. There is a windmill town near Madrid where you can take photos. It's very picturesque and is also the prototype of the scene where Don Quixote fights the windmills in Cervantes' novel. Consuegra. 【Seville】 You can walk to all the attractions in Seville. The main recommendation is Plaza de España. If you have leisure time, you can also take a boat ride there. Other attractions include the Royal Alcázar of Seville, Seville Cathedral, and Metropol Parasol. Personally, I think just passing by and taking a look is enough. Near Seville, Ronda in Serrania de Ronda is worth staying for a night. It's a small town on a cliff, a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset and stargaze at night. 【Smurf Village】 Júzcar is the only officially authorized Smurf village in the world. The originally white town was painted blue for the filming of 'The Smurfs'! You can only drive there, and you need to navigate through winding mountain roads that are narrow and have two-way traffic, with cliffs on the side. Friends with average driving skills are advised not to take the risk. It's better to hire a car or be extra careful while driving.

You can note 'wellcooked' for seafood rice, as most are served undercooked, which I personally don't prefer 2. Attractions that require advance booking: Alhambra, Gaudí's trio, Palau de la Música, Royal Alcazar of Seville 3. Taxi fares are quite cheap, if carrying luggage you can choose to take a taxi 4. For early trains, you can choose to take a taxi, public transport also starts very early 5. Some trains require a luggage purchase, it's displayed on the ticket, pay attention to buy luggage 6. Palau de la Música Catalana is highly recommended, not big but very beautiful, a hidden gem 7. My personal order for Gaudí's trio: Sagrada Familia = Casa Batlló > Casa Milà, if you can get early tickets, consider prioritizing, might be a bit more expensive 8. The towns are all very beautiful, whether Sitges, Toledo, or Córdoba, all feel great 9. Highly recommend the south! The Andalusia region is really beautiful!!! 10. Many desserts are delicious, especially try the cheesecake, so good 11. The seafood is also very nice! ➡️Some regrets: 1. It's a pity that it rained in Barcelona, didn't see the sunset or enjoy immersive street walking 2. Not many coffee shops like Starbucks where you can just grab and go 3. Really wanted to go to Mallorca and Cadaqués, might consider going there later Dali's house seems very nice, but the round trip distance is a bit far 4. Misjudged the clothes a bit, brought a lot of dresses that weren't used
