Park Güell is a popular park in Barcelona and a hot tourist spot. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, the structures in the park echo natural forms, very fluid and smooth. It’s not so much a park as it is a sight-seeing destination, with the buildings looking like fairytale Hansel and Gretel houses – very cute! The area isn’t very big, but has a lot of up-and-down slopes.. difficult to climb in summertime 😉 We spent most of the time chilling out on the benches and people-watching instead, since it was way more fun than traipsing around the park 😉
Very very very long escalators leading up to the park entrance

Mosaic art all over the park

Enjoying ourselves at the summit
They say the architecture looks like Hansel and Gretel houses 😛
Did you know? Gaudí used the shape of buttocks left by a naked workman sitting in wet clay
to design the curvature of the bench surface… LOL..
