Someone once said that if there is only one city in the world that makes you crazy, then it must be Barcelona. Barcelona is an ancient cultural city in Spain and the most famous tourist destination in Spain. It is also known as the Manhattan of the Mediterranean. It has a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery and numerous historical sites. It is known as the "Pearl of the Iberian Peninsula". When you come to Barcelona, ??you must not miss the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. Also, it’s the sunny, bright and warm winter days (where I live in winter, it rains continuously, and it’s rare to see the sun).

One Christmas, we transferred from Brussels to Barcelona. After getting off the plane and standing under the bright sunshine, the gloomy mood caused by the cloudy and rainy days before departure was swept away. After putting down our luggage, we took off our thick winter clothes and headed to the coastal road without taking a break. Like many tourists, we admired the blue sea and felt the coolness brought by the sea breeze. While walking, we saw a group of young people in their 20s on the beach not far away, shirtless and playing with the horizontal bar among the fitness equipment. People couldn't help but sigh that it's great to be young!

Our main purpose of going to Barcelona this time is to start an exploration of Barcelona along Gaudí’s masterpieces.

Gaudí’s most famous architectural work is the Sagrada Familia, which is the most gorgeous church in the world. This church is not only dedicated to Jesus, but also to the Holy Father Joseph and the Virgin Mary. It is the world’s most beautiful church. It is a relatively rare church dedicated to the whole family of Jesus. This church is a symbol of Barcelona and is the only building in the world that was listed as a World Heritage Site before it was completed.

Park Güell is a fantasy world made of mosaics. Enter Guell Park from the main entrance. At the entrance of the park, there is a building with a cross on top like a chapel. The roof and window frames are decorated with mosaics, which are shiny and colorful. After walking a few steps, you can see the famous colorful giant lizard that is often seen in travel magazines lying on the steps. It is said to represent the coat of arms of Catalonia. Many tourists are crowding around to take photos with the big lizard. . There were too many people, so I gave up the idea of ??taking pictures, and followed the steps to the large platform of the park. On the edge of the large platform was a meandering mosaic seat. Every small section of the seat, if you look closely, is A piece of impressionist art work.

On the day we visited, there were very few people on the huge platform. A dozen young people gathered in a circle and chatted happily. We sat on the seats, basking in the sun, and planning our next trip.

Casa Mila is located on Passeig de Gracia and is easy to find along the map. It was a private residence designed by Gaudí for Mr. Mira, a wealthy man at the time. La Pedrera is very majestic, with a wavy appearance and staggered roofs. The whole building is like a rough sea, very dynamic. The chimneys and vents are like a writhing elf statue, rough but delicate.

After coming out of La Pedrera, we walked less than ten minutes to see Casa Batlló, which was shining like a giant dragon in the night, so beautiful. This is my favorite Gaudí work. Its exterior wall is very eye-catching. The overall effect is like Monet’s water lilies. Colored tiles and glass pieces are softly laid out on the undulating exterior wall. It is said that Gaudí A lifetime of color has been given to Casa Batlló. The interior design of Casa Batlló closely follows the theme of the underwater world. There are sea turtles swimming freely, colorful conches, naughty stars and various marine life above the wooden doors and windows. In order to balance the lighting, the sunroom in the atrium is all made of blue tiles. From bottom to top, the color of the tiles becomes darker and darker. Climbing up the stairs is like entering a mysterious underwater world. Following the stairs, we climbed to the top of the building. Under the light, the large chimneys were made into giant mosaics made of various colors of glass and ceramics. From white to yellow, from orange to green, and then from earthy yellow to blue, I was suddenly taken away. Entered a beautiful fairy tale house. There is a touching story behind Casa Batlló. A beautiful princess was trapped in the castle by a dragon. The legendary Catalan hero Saint George fought with the dragon to rescue the princess, and finally killed the dragon and rescued the princess.

It has grotesque buildings, warm sunshine in winter, delicious Spanish food, and a leisurely pace of life. In my opinion, Barcelona is definitely a place worth visiting again and again. See you later, Barcelona!
