I wanted warmth, the sun, the smell of the sea, and it was still far from vacation, and I went to Barcelon for three days. I did not have a certain plan, or rather, the plan was to decide on the route on the spot. In this city I have already been, but, oddly enough, I have never been inside the Sagrada Cathedral, I first went there and went there. This construction will probably be eternal, cranes seem to be part of the composition. Inside the spacious and somehow empty, there is no feeling that you are in the cathedral, just in a very large room, are still interesting than the facades of the building. Services are rare here, and the cathedral was consecrated only in 2010.
House Bayo-celebration of Spanish Modern Antonio Gaudi. Smooth, curved wooden finish lines and bright color mosaic, elegant patio. Considering the elements of the decor and the details of any building built by Gaudi, sometimes it seems awesome, how it all keeps together, so bizarre designs. Still, Gaudi was not only a brilliant architect, but also a born mechanic engineer, exactly the balance and a point of support.
Guell Park is a famous landmark of Barcelona, a multicolored glass-fragments of the utopian city of happiness. On tickets marked the time when you can enter the museum part, the wait can be passing through the park, visit the Gaudi House-Museum.
I walked along the Gothic Quarter, I visited the Picasso Museum, the Cathedral was loved by an unusually elegant of the ancient Church of Santa Maria Affairs of Mar.
In the courtyard of the Cathedral - a overgrown pond with phlegmatic geese.
At the top of the Montjuic hill, near the Olympic stadium and the telecommunications tower of Kalatrava, there is a botanical garden. I reached him on foot from the funicular, but the path is not free, although pleasant, among the gardens and parks. Judging by the stops falling on the path, you may have buses here, but none of them met me. All plants in the botanical garden are placed in the open air, so in the collection - only representatives of the regions of a similar climate.
Spain is surprisingly many-sided, its city, for example, Barcelona and Madrid, like different planets, but all the cities of Spain are a holiday that you will take home in your heart, and which will always be with you.
