@Mary – I think kids would love Park Güell. Glad you found it useful and hope you’re able to visit soon. Agreed, I’m lucky to be so close.

@Randall – Thanks so much for your message and kine words. Always nice to connect with another Canadian. I would love to do the Camino de Santiago and would love to visit Gaudi’s buildings in Astorga and Leon. Guess it’s a good reason to go back to Spain.

I really enjoyed this post as I become fascinated with Gaudi since returning from Spain. The first time I walked the Camino de Santiago, I didn’t even know who he was. I still stopped at buildings he designed in Astorga and Leon and marveled at the architecture. I knew better when I went to Barcelona, but my stay there was far too short. Thanks for your wonderful photos and writing.

I would love to visit all of Gaudi’s works including spending some time at Sagrada. I’m sure my kids wouldn’t want to leave Park Güell. This post will be bookmarked with all your helpful tourist tips. You’re so lucky to be so close to all those fabulous European cities for weekend breaks.

Gaudi was such a creative genius. I love how his influence is seen in so much of Barcelona. Great photo of you and the master architect!

@Sophie – Me too! Now I’m really kicking myself for not going inside or on the roof of La Pedrera. Definitely next time!

The roof of La Pedrera is a chapter all on its own. Not only fab views but very quirky utilities-disguised-as-art up there as well.

@Italian Notes – I think November is a great time to go to Barcelona. The weather was still 16-18 C, so perfect sight seeing weather and it wasn’t nearly as many tourists. Even on a Saturday morning the line for the Sagrada Familia was probably less than 15 minutes!

@Anne – Great tip, thanks so much for sharing, it sounds like it would be a magical venue.
