Park Güell

Gaudí was commissioned to build a city in 1900, and the Park Güell is what resulted. The project was abandoned in 1914, and the government of Barcelona bought the land to preserve as a park. Need I say more? Gaudí is kind of self explanatory:

There are so many things that I want to see while I am in Barcelona. This is at the top of the list, for sure. It reminds me of some kind of fairytale on acid. I kind of like it :)

Not to mention, getting in is free! Which is going to be of the utmost importance for the four months or so that I am gone. When I come back, I realize that I am going to be BROKE. And, (hopefully) totally, blissfully happy with a brand new worldview.
