After hearing about a so-called “Park Guell,” I decided it was mandatory that I get more photos from Barcelona. And I think it was a good choice.
Park Guell is one of the most impressive places I’ve been on all my travels. The park was designed by Gaudi and has such a unique style, even the most well-traveled person would be blown away.
In addition to Park Guell, I had to see the Sagrada Familia, which is one of the most famous Cathedrals in the world. And I can see why. It is so incredibly-detailed, so grandiose (I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used that word, but it’s suiting), and WOW – you have to make it a point to see it at some point in your life.
I could only imagine living in Barcelona – this place would definitely be a weekly (if not several times a week) walk for me. Which by the way, is quite a hike up the hill ! It’s all worth it though.
Barcelona, you’ve set the bar pretty high…not sure if the other cities are going to be able to compete, but hey – this is Europe. Can’t tell you how stoked I am to visit everywhere else.
If you have any recommendations on where to go in the following cities, post in the comments below!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be traveling to:
Madrid (until the 18th)
London (18-21)
Paris (21-23)
Brussels (24-25)
Utrecht/Amsterdam (26-28)
Berlin (28-01)
Prague (01-03)
Saaaaaaaaaan Diego!

Erika Vargas - that park was so cool.. I’m surprised you didn’t get a pic of the Penis building you can see from the top.. make sure to see the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.. and you’ll def get some cool shots of the parking garages full of bikes! You’re not going to Rome or the Greek Islands? Those were my favorite places!February 15, 2011 – 11:58 pm
