Spain Day 4

Got a call from Iberia this morning. They have located my luggage. Apparently, it made it's way back to Chicago and then back to London and is on its way to Barcelona. That's some good news.

Today was our big trek in Barcelona. We set out to view the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. He was part of the modernist movement in architecture in Spain around the turn of the 19th century. There are several landmarks in Spain that are his works. As soon as we got off the subway we could see the Casa Batllo. A few blocks away we spotted Casa Mila.

Next we made our way to Parc Güell. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, it was intended to be a luxury villa, filled with homes for the wealthy families of the Barcelona bourgeoisie. But sales were not as expected and it became a public park. Some of us decided to climb to the top to see what wonders awaited us. We found more graffiti.

I broke down and bought a t-shirt today.
