W01 Park Güell

Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona

The Park Güell is named after Gaudí's great patron, Count Eusebi Güell.

Although initially planned as a residential garden city in the English style (hence the name "Park"), the initiative was unsuccessful and only one showhouse was built, like the one which was Gaudí's home and today houses the museum devoted to the architect.

Finally, Güell donated the park to the Municipal Council in 1923 and since then it has belonged to the municipality and been a unique public park enjoying a prime location. Nowhere else so successfully integrates Gaudí's work into nature: his main source of inspiration.

W03 Modernisme

Barcelona is famous for its modernist architecture from the likes of Antonio Gaudi, Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Luis Domenech i Montaner.

Modernism has given Barcelona a unique style that goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The streets of Barcelona are like a huge museum, in which the windows, the mosaics and other elements allow us to reconstruct the years between the World Expo of 1888 and the first decade of the twentieth century

W06 Port Vell - Barceloneta

Port Vell- Barceloneta-Platges

The Barceloneta quarter is still the fishermen's quarter of Barcelona, because it's next to the port and the beach. It's the best place to go to eat seafood, such as paella or black rice, made only with fish and black-colored because of the squid-ink used to cook it. It is also a great place to eat tapas and take a walk during the summer nights
