More than a century ago, a revolution called Gaudi hit Barcelona. This artistic genius had fascinating ideas and capabilities. But, starting with the design of a chair, he also won the deep trust and financial backing of Güell, who in the end would hand him an entire residential park, Park Güell, to design to his heart's desire. Yet this unique project never flourished, ending up as a garden city frozen in 1914. Why? Join us to find out!
But Gaudi's sacred project, his lifetime work to which he devoted and, in the absence of a family, left everything, is the Sagrada Familia. Find nature in every detail of this whimsical forest which, today still, is Barcelona's major work in progress.
Only after understanding Park Güell and Sagrada Familia can we move on to Paseo de Gracia, where the new bourgeoisie was on a mission to show off its affluence by building majestical houses.
